retirement poem

see, they return
all down the years
in halls of sleep you wandered by
sweet splendor
a very remarkable history this is
i have known the silence of the stars and of the sea
sun and wind and beat of sea
when freedom from her mountain height
gone before us
it was the autumn of the year
muffled drum's sad roll has beat
and with the humming bird
but alas, just dreams
