Man Must Have His Earth...

Autoplay

Untitled…

Man must have his earth, a soft patch
Under a thatch of sky;

And purpose each morning to go out.
With a woman to lure back and lie with him.
Should he lose his way in the dark.

As even a leaper must have his ledge,
his bit of rock cliff to leap from.

For even the dead
Shall stake claim to the graves that take them.

Tanseman
