X am thrown like a stone among these ridges,
in yellow grass, blasted and summer-singed,
passive, inanimate.
Pale skies touch the rock.
Whence came this bright-winged butterfly?
A stone among stones—I do not know
bow ancient my day;
-who yet may come
and, walking, push me,
rolling, down this•slope.
Perhaps this is forever-frozen beauty.
Perhaps this is.
eternity, slow-moving.
Perhaps .this is
a dream of death

In thorns and thistles,'
facing the road that glides down to the City.
Let the wind, blessed over all, come
to caress the pine-tree tops
