Annunciations
Hart Crane
1899 to 1932
The anxious milk-blood in the veins of the earth,
That strives long and quiet to sever the girth
Of greenery…. Below the roots, a quickening quiver
Aroused by some light that had sensed,—ere the shiver
Of the first moth's descent,—day's predestiny….
The sound of a dove's flight waved over the lawn….
The moans of travail of one dearest beside me….
Then high cries from great chasms of chaos outdrawn.
Hush! these things were all heard before dawn.
Hart Crane's Annunciations
I am busy working to bring Hart Crane's "Annunciations" 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 "Annunciations" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
