The cedar's shadow, slow and still,
Creeps o'er its dial of gray moss.

Deep lies the snow, and neither the sun nor the rain can dissolve
it;

With the world's secret trembling on his lip.
He asks not converse or companionship
In the cold starlight where thou canst not climb.
Myself was formeda Carpenter

Myself was formeda Carpenter
An unpretending time
My Planeand I, together wrought
Before a Builder came
Samuel
© Edgar Lee Masters
Hear then of brawn-armed Samuel,
Fair-haired and heavy-jaw;
For he feared not the gates of hell,
Spiked 'round with heaven's law.
Duval's Birds
