    We have advanced by leaps to the Pacific, and left many a lesser Oregon and California unexplored behind us.

    Some burn damp faggots, others may consume
    The entire combustible world in one small room
    As though dried straw, and if we turn about
    The bare chimney is gone black out
    Because the work had finished in that flare.

    The leaves are all dead on the ground,
    Save those that the oak is keeping
