retirement poem

eighty years have passed, and more
out of the window a sea of green trees
the long resounding marble corridors
brief on a flying night
beautiful, tragical faces
in mournful numbers
high-born race
at dawn, he said
i saw god. do you doubt it?
shades of night were falling fast
i bid them all farewell
i went up and down the streets
