| | From “Tropical Life”
DAYS and days float by. | |
| On the sides of the mountains | |
| Blue shadows shift | |
| And sift into silence. | |
| Morning…. | 5 |
| The cock crows. | |
| There is that rosy glow on the mountains’ edge. | |
| José in the door of his hut, | |
| Maria’s lace bobbins | |
| Tapping, tapping. | 10 |
| Evening…. | |
| The parrot’s shrill cry, | |
| Pale silver green stars. | |
| Night…. | |
| And ghosts of dead Josés | 15 |
| And dead Marias | |
| Sitting in the moonlight. | |
| Peace— | |
| Depressing, | |
| Interminable | 20 |
| Peace. | | | | |
