    Session 8: Poetry Example

    This example shows a poem fragment with a asterisked footnote and a line number.

    The Waking*

    I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.

We think by feeling.  What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.            5
    *Mr. Roethke recorded "The Waking" (LP, Folkways, FL 9736).
