And see the way you lived, but I don't know!

Reconstruction

And I reckon I'll be something like the horse.

No lightning flash nor tempest roar,
But one incessant, steady pour

Lone in the hush of sleeping things,
In some sky sanctuary withdrawn;

In poet's tower, cellar, or barn, or tree;
The silk-worm in the dark green mulberry leaves
His winding sheet and cradle ever weaves;

Ere one to one was cursedly confin'd:

To think of to-day, and the ages continued henceforward!

Her blood-hounds through the countryside,

Siegfried Loraine Sassoon
The Vanishing Red
He is said to have been the last Red man

The day they took their vow.

Brian Dredan
Good-bye, And Keep Cold
This saying good-bye on the edge of the dark
And cold to an orchard so young in the bark
Reminds me of all that can happen to harm
An orchard away at the end of the farm

Of some mean things which here below reside,
Where birds like watchful clocks the noiseless date
And intercourse of times divide;

The city bands before them, the soldiers marched beside;

The boy scout and the boy lout and all the rest were there,

Scorn
You business men with your large desks with your stenographers and your bell-boys and your private telephones I say to you these are the four walls of your cage.
You are tame as canaries with your small bird-brains where lurks the evil worm you are fat from being over-fed you know not the lean wild sunbirds that arrow down paths of fire.
I despise you. I am too hard to pity you. I would hang you on the gallows of the Stock Exchange. I would flay you with taxes. I would burn you alive with Wall Street Journals. I wouild condemn you to an endless round of bank banquets. I deride you. I mock at you. I laugh you to scorn.

Let people in than I can keep them out.

When the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared,
