Robert Penn Warren Birthplace Museum Third and Cherry Streets, Guthrie, Kentucky 42234 Telephone: 270-483-2683 What Voice at Moth-Hour What voice at moth-hour did I hear calling As I stood in the orchard while the white Petals of apple blossoms were falling, Whiter than moth-wing in that twilight? What voice did I hear as I stood by the stream, Bemused in the murmurous wisdom there uttered, While ripples at stone, in their steely gleam, Caught last light before it was shuttered? What voice did I hear as I wandered alone In a premature night of cedar, beech, oak, Each foot set soft, then still as stone Standing to wait while the first owl spoke? The voice that I heard once at dew-fall, I now Can hear by a simple trick. If I close My eyes, in that dusk I again know The feel of damp grass between bare toes, Can see the last zigzag, sky-skittering, high, Of a bullbat, and even hear, far off, from Swamp-cover, the whip-o-will, and as I Once heard, hear the voice: It's late! Come home. What Voice at Moth-Hour from --"Rumor Verified": Copyright ©1980 by
