Notes

  • Dedication:
    To my daughter
    Always remember yesterday
    with all its joy and sorrow
    to live today
    for tomorrow.
  • Divided into five sections:
    I looked for the poets; Alas! They had all died!
    Like an oriental princes on her wedding night!
    Waken then, and tell the silent world!
    Was I ever the sky, or was the sky I?
    I shall never walk again!
