Schoolroom On A Wet Afternoon Analysis



Author: poem of Vernon Scannell Type: poem Views: 11



The unrelated paragraphs of morning

Are forgotten now; the severed heads of kings

Rot by the misty Thames; the roses of York

And Lancaster are pressed between the leaves

Of history; Negroes sleep in Africa.

The complexities of simple interest lurk

In inkwells and the brittle sticks of chalk:

Afternoon is come and English Grammar.



Rain falls as though the sky has been bereaved,

Stutters its inarticulate grief on glass

Of every lachrymose pane.  The children read

Their books or make pretence of concentration,

Each bowed head seems bent in supplication

Or resignation to the fate that waits

In the unmapped forests of the future.

Is it their doomed innocence noon weeps for?



In each diminutive breast a human heart

Pumps out the necessary blood: desires,

Pains and ecstasies surf-ride each singing wave

Which breaks in darkness on the mental shores.

Each child is disciplined; absorbed and still

At his small desk.  Yet lift the lid and see,

Amidst frayed books and pencils, other shapes:

Vicious rope, glaring blade, the gun cocked to kill.
