The water of the river deep
Enthralled me as I attempted to peep
From the boat, the azure depth beckoned
I was spellbound, my hearththrob quickened.
...
Oh! Human ambition thou sorcerer of the fragile mind,
Thou dost fill us with a false sense of pride,
Making us reject values that are true,
While in your cauldron wicked spells you brew!
...
Majestically you soar in the sky
You nest in tree-tops or mountains high.
So solitary in your pride
High on the air currents you do fly.
...
Amorphous blot of wood!
Covered with living hair of green.
Holding and grasping the earth below
Forever you seem to grow.
