October Evening, Robinson Jeffers, 1926 Male-throated under the shallow sea-fog Moaned a ship's horn quivering the shorelong granite. Coyotes toward the valley made answer, Their little wolf-pads in the dead grass by the stream Wet with the young season's first rain, Their jagged wail trespassing among the steep stars. What stars? Aldebaran under the dove-leash Pleiades. I thought, in an hour Orion will be risen, Be glad for summer is dead and the sky Turns over to darkness, good storms, few guests, glad rivers.
