I will catch Christ with a greased worm,
And when the Prince of Darkness stalks
My bloodstream to its Stygian term...
On water the Man-Fisher walks.


Poems, 1938-1949 (ed. 1964)


I will catch Christ with a greased worm, And when the Prince of Darkness stalks My bloodstream to its Stygian term... On water the Man-Fisher walks.

I will catch Christ with a greased worm, And when the Prince of Darkness stalks My bloodstream to its Stygian term... On water the Man-Fisher walks.

I will catch Christ with a greased worm, And when the Prince of Darkness stalks My bloodstream to its Stygian term... On water the Man-Fisher walks.

I will catch Christ with a greased worm, And when the Prince of Darkness stalks My bloodstream to its Stygian term... On water the Man-Fisher walks.
