Rhyme Scheme: ABCDECFEGEHIJEHKHDEE C| White maned wide throated the heavy shouldered children of | A |
| the wind leap at the sea cliff | B |
| The invisible falcon | C |
| Brooded on water and bred them in wide waste places in a bridechamber | D |
| wide to the stars' eyes | E |
| In the center of the ocean | C |
| Where no prows pass nor island is lifted the sea beyond | F |
| Lobos is whitened with the falcon's | E |
| Passage he is here now | G |
| The sky is one cloud his wing feathers hiss in the white grass | E |
| my sapling cypresses writhing | H |
| In the fury of his passage | I |
| Dare not dream of their centuries of future endurance of tempest | J |
| I have granite and cypress | E |
| Both long lasting | H |
| Planted in the earth but the granite sea boulders are prey to no | K |
| hawk's wing they have taken worse pounding | H |
| Like me they remember | D |
| Old wars and are quiet for we think that the future is one piece | E |
| with the past we wonder why tree tops | E |
| And people are so shaken | C |
