Before he could face decease.
First, his coming into the world
It was I could say a thrill to all
Albeit the months' trials
He huffed and puffed...

On Champlain's Shores

...In a meadow lush and green,
by a lake grand as a sea,
there once was a lonely house
small and brown.

Inside it someone would wait
for a man who went away,

In high spirits, and
