Excerpt from The Widowed Earth: A Dramatic Poem

New Wine

You pipe of golden years,
And dream that Pan appears
Beneath the tangled trees,
Or by the shady pine,
With Bacchic hosts that dine
And dance with naiades.

You blow the mellow praise
Of dead, romantic days,
Till knights begin to gleam
And flash before your eyes,
And charge the kings that rise
By castled hill and stream.

What if you pipe and sing?
Not all your reeds can bring
To life your mythic year!
For earth is old and wise,
And all her mountains rise
Through forests gray and sear.
