But I am here,
And they are far, and time is old.
Within my dream the grass is cold;
The legs and locked; the sky is dead.

Ferdinand De Soto, sleeping
In the river, never heard
Four-and-twenty Spanish hooves
Fling off their iron and cut the green,
Leaving circles new and clean
While overhead the wing-tips whirred.
