Poem - "Sheep In Fog" by Sylvia Plath

"Sheep In Fog" 
by Sylvia Plath

The hills step off into whiteness.

People or stars
Regard me sadly, I disappoint them.

The train leaves a line of breath.

O slow
Horse the colour of rust,

Hooves, dolorous bells ----

All morning the
Morning has been blackening,

A flower left out.

My bones hold a stillness, the far
Fields melt my heart.

They threaten

To let me through to a heaven
Starless and fatherless, a dark water.
