English Poetry. Stephen Crane. Two or three angels. Стивен Крейн.

Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)

* * *

Two or three angels
Came near to the earth.
They saw a fat church.
Little black streams of people
Came and went in continually.
And the angels were puzzled
To know why the people went thus,
And why they stayed so long within.

Stephen Crane’s other poems:

1. With eye and with gesture
2. When the prophet, a complacent fat man
3. The ocean said to me once
4. Tell brave deeds of war
5. You tell me this is God?
