Soft streams of quietness through mighty canyons flow; Sweet scented violet, dust blown ’gainst barren rock will grow not to the flower but stone. Cynics’ sweet accompaniment to swell; tenor of youth ’gainst nature’s course, tin flowered bloom will fade, Sterile, silent creature of despair, unborn while parents parade epitaphs unaware. i Day, fleet stag streaked blood-red.
