The Whippoorwill
by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led
To dells the stealthy twilights tread
The west was hot geranium red;
And still, and still,
Along old lanes the locusts sow
With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,
Deep in the crimson afterglow,
We heard the homeward cattle low,
And then the far-off, far-off woe
Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs
We heard the far bells of the cows
Come slowly jangling towards the house;
And still, and still,
Beyond the light that would not die
Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;
Beyond the evening-star's white eye
Of glittering chalcedony,
Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry
Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims
The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims
Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;
And still, and still,
I seem to hear, where shadows grope
Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,
Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope
Above the clover-sweetened slope,
Retreat, despairing, past all hope,
The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

Whippoorwill - a nocturnal bird with a distinctive call that is suggestive of its name

What type of irony was used in this story?
IRONY

Definition: There are three types of irony: verbal, situational and dramatic.
Verbal irony occurs when a speaker's intention is the opposite of what he or she is
saying. For example, a character stepping out into a hurricane and saying, "What nice
weather we're having!"

Situational irony occurs when the actual result of a situation is totally different from
what you'd expect the result to be. Sitcoms often use situational irony. For example, a
family spends a lot of time and money planning an elaborate surprise birthday party for
their mother to show her how much they care. But it turns out, her birthday
is next month, and none of them knew the correct date. She ends up fuming that no
one cares enough to remember her birthday.

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows a key piece of information that
a character in a play, movie or novel does not. This is the type of irony that makes us
yell, "DON'T GO IN THERE!!" during a scary movie. Dramatic irony is huge in
Shakespeare's tragedies, most famously in Othello and Romeo and Juliet, both of which
we'll examine later.

Why Writers Use It:
Irony inverts our expectations. It can create the unexpected twist
at the end of a joke or a story that gets us laughing - or crying. Verbal irony tends to
be funny; situational irony can be funny or tragic; and dramatic irony is often tragic.
