HERE Morris on the plains that we have loved	A
Think of the death of Akoose fleet of foot	B
Who in his prime a herd of antelope	C
From sunrise without rest a hundred miles	D
Drove through rank prairie loping like a wolf	E
Tired them and slew them ere the sun went down	F
Akoose in his old age blind from the smoke	G
Of tepees and the sharp snow light alone	H
With his great grandchildren withered and spent	I
Crept in the warm sun along a rope	C
Stretched for his guidance Once when sharp autumn	J
Made membranes of thin ice upon the sloughs	K
He caught a pony on a quick return	L
Of prowess and all his instincts cleared and quickened	M
He mounted sensed the north and bore away	N
To the Last Mountain Lake where in his youth	O
He shot the sand hill cranes with his flint arrows	P
And for these hours in all the varied pomp	Q
Of pagan fancy and free dreams of foray	N
And crude adventure he ranged on entranced	R
Until the sun blazed level with the prairie	S
Then paused faltered and slid from off his pony	S
In a little bluff of poplars hid in the bracken	T
He lay down the populace of leaves	U
In the lithe poplars whispered together and trembled	V
Fluttered before a sunset of gold smoke	G
With interspaces green as sea water	W
And calm as the deep water of the sea	S
	-
There Akoose lay silent amid the bracken	T
Gathered at last with the Algonquin Chieftains	X
Then the tenebrous sunset was blown out	Y
And all the smoky gold turned into cloud wrack	Z
Akoose slept forever amid the poplars	X
Swathed by the wind from the far off Red Deer	A2
Where dinosaurs sleep clamped in their rocky tombs	X
Who shall count the time that lies between	B2
The sleep of Akoose and the dinosaurs	X
Innumerable time that yet is like the breath	C2
Of the long wind that creeps upon the prairie	S
And dies away with the shadows at sundown	F
	-
	-
	-
What we may think who brood upon the theme	D2
Is when the old world tired of spinning has fallen	T
Asleep and all the forms that carried the fire	W
Of life are cold upon her marble heart	E2
Like ashes on the altar just as she stops	X
That something will escape of soul or essence	X
The sum of life to kindle otherwhere	W
Just as the fruit of a high sunny garden	T
Grown mellow with autumnal sun and rain	F2
Shrivelled with ripeness splits to the rich heart	E2
And looses a gold kernel to the mould	G2
So the old world hanging long in the sun	T
And deep enriched with effort and with love	H2
Shall in the motions of maturity	S
Wither and part and the kernel of it all	I2
Escape a lovely wraith of spirit to latitudes	X
Where the appearance throated like a bird	J2
Winged with fire and bodied all with passion	T
Shall flame with presage not of tears but joy	K2
