Strangers

By Edna Wahlert McCourt


From “Voices” A Father speaks: YOU are a bough and I am the tree:
Why are you reaching over the wall?
What do you see?

You are a fawn and I the deer:
Why do you bound to that farthest hill?	5
What do you hear?

You are a glacier and I am the snow:
Why do you move across the broad land?
Where do you go?
