Edwin Arlington Robinson 1869-1935 John Bartlett

 
1
        He was himself and he had lost the speed
He started with, and he was left behind.
          Captain Craig.
2
            You have made
The cement of your churches out of tears
And ashes, and the fabric will not stand.
          Captain Craig.

            The gods are growing old;
The stars are singing Golden hair to gray
Green leaf to yellow leaf,—or chlorophyl
To xanthophyl, to be more scientific.
          Captain Craig.
4
          We are young
And we are friends of time.
          Captain Craig.
