Edwin Arlington Robinson. (1869–1935)

He was himself and he had lost the speed
He started with, and he was left behind.

Captain Craig.

You have made
The cement of your churches out of tears
And ashes, and the fabric will not stand.

Captain Craig.

The gods are growing old;
The stars are singing Golden hair to gray
Green leaf to yellow leaf,—or chlorophyl
To xanthophyl, to be more scientific.

Captain Craig.

We are young
And we are friends of time.

Captain Craig.
