Ambrose Gwinnet Bierce

Here you will find the Poem Rimer of poet Ambrose Gwinnet Bierce

Rimer

The rimer quenches his unheeded fires, 
 The sound surceases and the sense expires. 
 Then the domestic dog, to east and west, 
 Expounds the passions burning in his breast. 
 The rising moon o'er that enchanted land 
 Pauses to hear and yearns to understand.
