short poem

very well, you liberals
green afternoon serene and bright
the old west, the old time
the light withdrawn
along the banks
i said
under a spreading chestnut tree
backward, turn backward
some of the hurts you have cured
night was black and drear
love has been sung a thousand ways
within my hand i hold
