"Like Crusoe, Walking by the Lonely Strand"
The Sisters' Tragedy
Like Crusoe, walking by the lonely strand
And seeing a human
footprint on the sand,
Have I this day been startled, finding
here,
Set in brown mould and delicately clear,
Spring's
footprint--the first crocus of the year!
O sweet invasion!
Farewell solitude!
Soon shall wild creatures of the field and
wood
Flock from all sides with much ado and stir,
And make of
me most willing prisoner!
