Anger's Freeing Power - by Stevie Smith
I had a dream three walls stood up wherein a raven bird
Against the walls did beat himself and was this not absurd?
For sun and rain beat in that cell that had its fourth wall free
And daily blew the summer shower and the rain came presently
And the pretty summer time and all the winter too
That foolish bird did beat himself till he was black and blue.
Rouse up, rouse up, my raven bird, fly by the open wall
You make a prison of a place that is not one at all.
I took my raven by the hand, Oh come, I said, my Raven,
And I will take you by the hand and you shall fly to heaven.
But oh he sobbed and oh he sighed and in a fit he lay
Until two fellow ravens came and stood outside to say:
You wretched bird, conceited lump
You well deserve to pine and thump.
See, now a wonder, mark it well
My bird rears up in angry spell,
Oh do I then? he says and careless flies
O'er flattened wall at once to heaven’s skies,
And in my dream I watched him go
And I was glad, I loved him so,
Yet when I woke my eyes were wet
To think Love had not freed my pet,
Anger it was that won him hence
As only Anger taught him sense.
Often my tears fall in a shower
Because of Anger’s freeing power.
