But time comes for all things to go,
I too must go crowing my song…
...

I look at dawn's dewy fall—
Virtual pearls they all,
Nature's tears of joy!

In the lap of wilderness and nowhere,
...

Two birds, beak on plumes,
Soon as love consumes,
Each its way assumes!

A tiger, wasp that would sting,
Take a stray dog, or small child,
Or a fool far off exiled:
