Whippoorwill Barbara Mabry Appalachian Heritage, Volume 13, Numbers 1 & 2, Winter/Spring 1985, p. 111 (Article) Published by The University of North Carolina Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/aph.1985.0003 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/438849/summary Access provided at 19 Feb 2020 22:00 GMT from JHU Libraries WHIPPOORWILL Just at the feathered edge of dusk, the whippoorwill begins his plaintive call. It cannot be a song to woo his lady love; it has a stern discordant note. Perhaps he mourns the loss of light or warns of coming dark. Whip-poor-will, whip-poor-will, he cries again, again, and then abruptly ceases as the lid of night is sealed. We wait to hear his one last call, and, failing, know again the deep dark texture of another night and of that final night and are forewarned. —Barbara Mabry http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Appalachian Review University of North Carolina Press
