Your cry is echoing
My ears...

cold rain of adrenaline hassled
down my spine and narrow nerves.
In Gorge Floyd I froze—compressed,
suppressed into miniature casket—-

Soar high and high in firm alone

In desert that is poor and dull
On soil that is scorched with fire
The Upas-tree stands as a hull
as guard who's one who knows no tire.

The prairie's nature had a thirst
begetting Him in day of fury,

When I was young,
The future stretched endlessly before my bewildered eyes,
Reaching as far as the horizon of infinity
Thus
Making me feel invincible and immortal.
 
Life was an enjoyable experience for me back then
For
At every moment she...

Until they glanced a traveler 
Holding the flowers, veiled...
