Poems by Ted Hughes
Earth-Moon
... Crushing the stones and houses by the wayside ...
Thrushes
... Triggered to stirrings beyond sense - with a start, a bounce, ...
Theology
... Eve ate Adam. The serpent ate Eve ...
The Minotaur
... And later, considered and calmer,'Get that shoulder under your stanzas ...
The Owl
... As I would see it again through your children's eyes ...
Crow's Fall
... He opened his mouth but what came out was charred black ...
Bride and Groom Lie Hidden for Three Days
... f his neckHe sinks into place the inside of her thighsSo, gasping with joy, with cries of wonderment ...
Tractor
... Weeping in the wind of chloroform And the tractor, streaming with sweat, ...
Lineage
... Never Never NeverWho begat CrowScreaming for Blood ...
Surprise
... She gave it The short small swallowed moo-grunts hungry cows ...
Hay
... To be wooed by the farmer, who wins her and brings her to church in her beauty, ...
Relic
... Eat and are finished and the jawbone comes to the beach: ...
Macaw and Little Miss
... The dream where the warrior comes, lightning and iron, ...
Feeding Out Wintering Cattle at Twilight
... Their wild woolly bulk-heads, their fierce, joyful breathings ...
Apple Tragedy
... Who in drunken rage tried to hang himself in the orchard ...
