What is a cousin? What is a neighbor?
How can I savor? This life?
On account of details . And fragmentation
We stymie & dampen . Our own elation
“Not I” says the tiger . Though so few we may be
I swear to live true . And vow to live free
According to the laws . Of nature and my heart
Oh wilderness, oh purity ! How precious thou art!
