Yet never to our

see them come;
With eyes we view not burning heats, nor cold,
Nor are we wont men's voices to behold.

Lucretius |
|
Go you, and seize the felon; backward bind
His arms and legs, and fix a plank behind:
On this his body by strong cords extend,
And on a column near the roof suspend:
So studied
tortures
his vile days shall end.

THE BUZZARDS
When evening came and the warm glow grew deeper
And every tree that bordered the green meadows
And in the yellow cornfields every reaper
And every corn-shock stood above their shadows
Flung
eastward
from their feet in longer measure,
Serenely far there swam in the sunny height
A buzzard and his mate who took their pleasure
Swirling and poising idly in golden light.

We'll live once more, dear friends,
When the good God intends.
