good bye poem

beneath the warrior's helm
in his guarded tent
sing again the song you sung
shades of night were falling fast
look back with longing eyes and know that i will follow
out of me unworthy and unknown
a little peach in the orchard grew
i saw you hunched and shivering on the stones
the earth keeps some vibration going
gingham dog and the calico cat
did you ever see an alligator
my mother taught me that every night
