Dedication:
To my daughter
Always remember yesterday
with all its joy and sorrow
to live today
for tomorrow. -
Divided into five sections:
I looked for the poets; Alas! They had all died!
Like an oriental princes on her wedding night!
Waken then, and tell the silent world!
Was I ever the sky, or was the sky I?
I shall never walk again!
