Explore "Loud and Low in the Chimney" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
LOUD and low in the chimney / The squalls suspire; / Then like an answer dwindles / And glows the fire, / And the chamber reddens and darkens / In time like taken breath.
Near by the sounding chimney / The youth apart / Hearkens with changing colour / And leaping heart, / And hears in the coil of the tempest / The voice of love and death.
Love on high in the flute-like / And tender notes / Sounds as from April meadows / And hillside cotes; / But the deep wood wind in the chimney / Utters the slogan of death.
