Neither One Waiting at the Bend

Neither one waiting at the bend
   Nor stationed upon the hill
Was present to make offense
   Or entertain some evil will.

A breeze came, another went -
   Rattling the bursages
As a creeping serpent
   Going into hiding does.

If I died right here -
   How many lonesome clouds -
How many foraging birds
   Would pass by before I was found?

Would the beloved sun
   Care to kiss me good-bye?
Would the angels of the canyon
   Guide me on my flight?
