<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 2em;">Under the dying stars.</span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">A lonely newsboy hurries by,</span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 2em;">Humming a recent ditty;</span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">Red streaks strike through the gray of the sky,</span><br />

<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 2em;">In the heart of the island of the sea,</span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">Where the cocks are crowing, crowing, crowing,</span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">And the hens are cackling in the rose-apple tree,</span><br />
Where the old draft-horse is neighing, neighing, neighing<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 2em;">Out on the brown dew-silvered lawn,</span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">And the tethered cow is lowing, lowing, lowing,</span><br />
And dear old Ned is braying, braying, braying,<br />
And the shaggy Nannie goat is calling, calling, calling<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">From her little trampled corner of the long wide lea</span><br />
That stretches to the waters of the hill-stream falling<br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">Sheer upon the flat rocks joyously!</span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 1em;">There, oh there! on the island of the sea </span><br />
<span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 2em;">There I would be at dawn.</span>

<p><span class="mw-poem-indented" style="display: inline-block; margin-inline-start: 11em;"> Thou, there beyond—</span><br />
Glacial sierras and the flight of ravens,<br />
Hermetically past condor zones, through zenith havens<br />
Past where the albatross has offered up<br />
His last wing-pulse, and downcast as a cup<br />
That's drained, is shivered back to earth—thy wand<br />
Has beat a song, O Walt,—there and beyond!<br />
And this, thine other hand, upon my heart<br />
Is plummet ushered of those tears that start<br />
What memories of vigils, bloody, by that Cape,—<br />
Ghoul-mound of man's perversity at balk<br />
And fraternal massacre! Thou, pallid there as chalk,<br />
Hast kept of wounds, O Mourner, all that sum<br />
That then from Appomattox stretched to Somme!
