| Alfred Kreymborg, ed. Others for 1919. 1920. | | | | Initials | | By Alfred Kreymborg |
| | | HE goes along, | |
| in his thin flesh, | |
| narrow bones, | |
| slow blood, | |
| old hat, | 5 |
| old clothes, | |
| old shoes, | |
| singing for love, battling for love. | |
| He will go down, | |
| in thinner flesh, | 10 |
| narrower bones, | |
| slower blood, | |
| older hat, | |
| older clothes, | |
| older shoes, | 15 |
| battling for love, dying for love. | |
| He will be put away, | |
| in a thin box, | |
| down a narrow slit | |
| of the old earth, | 20 |
| growing for love, rising for love: | |
| his initials carved | |
| on a thin seed, | |
| narrow seed, | |
| slow seed, | 25 |
| the carving as slow | |
| as he was slow, | |
| carving his K on a song. | | | | |
