I have lived an ample life.
From many facets I have wrung
joyous bounties, free and rife,
and memories made when I was young.
Delicious days of childhood -- seen
tender at seven, eight and nine;
primal woodlands, pastures -- green
trees, their timbers as young as mine,
invited me to swing and climb,
prepared to bend; and just as I,
letting go the lissome limb
with sibilants, would slap the sky!
