poem

when i was a boy at college
never in all my life
did you ever see an alligator
before the solemn bronze saint
the little pitiful, worn, laughing faces
lived by the river-side
winged shadows sweeping by
when i looked into your eyes
among the mountains i wandered
friend, whose smile has come to be
glooms of the live-oaks
the little white prayers
into the silent land
