    Ev’n thou who mourn’st the Daisy’s fate,
    That fate is thine—no distant date;

    Full on thy bloom,
    Till crush’d beneath the furrow’s weight,
    Shall be thy doom.

    my father moved through dooms of love
    through sames of am through haves of give,
    singing each morning out of each night
    my father moved through depths of height
