How the late summer's thinned-out sky moves, Drifting on, drifting on, like forever, From where on to where, and I wonder What it would be like to die Like the nameless old skull in the swamp, lost, And know yourself dead lying under The infinite motion of sky. But why should I lie here longer? I am not dead yet, though in years, And the world's way is yet long to go, And I love the world even in my anger, And love is a hard thing to outgrow. google.com/books/edition/The… @lsupress
