The host, he says that all is well,
And the fire-wood glow is bright;
The food has a warm and tempting smell,—
But on the window licks the night.
Pile on the logs…. Give me your hands,
Friends! No,—it is not fright….
But hold me…somewhere I heard demands.
And on the window licks the night.
I am busy working to bring Hart Crane's "Fear" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Hart Crane's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Fear" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
