Adelaide Rhead Poems

Why do you think you're better
If your culture is not the same?
Yes, maybe you seem different
But deep inside all are the same.
...

Water still, water deep, how many secrets do you keep?
We look upon your surface calm, and feel the peace that is a balm.
Now the gentle stream runs faster, racing swiftly swiftly ---
Over boundless cataracts. Water -- share your energy with me.
...

What have we done to the earth?
What have we done to the sea?
We are killing the planet of our birth,
Oh, can't you see, can't you see?
...
