The Dial/Volume 68/Number 1/Seven Poems/the bigness of cannon

the bigness of cannonis skilful,
but i have seendeath's clever enormous voicewhich hides in a fragilityof poppies. . . .

I have seen all the silencefull of vivid noiseless boys
at Roupyi have seenbetween barrages,
the night utter ripe unspeaking girls.
