Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The Past "let no one say the past is dead!. The past is all about us and within!. Haunted by tribal memories, I know This little now, whose long making Is so much of the past!. Tonight here in Sunurbia as I sit In easy chair before electric heater, Warmed by the red glow, I fall into dream: I am away At the camp fire in the bush, among My own people, sitting on the ground, No walls about me, The stars over me, The tall surrounding trees that stir in the wind Making their own music!. Soft cries of the night coming to us, there Where we are one with old Nature's lives Known and unknown, in scenes where we belong but have now forsken!. Deep chair and electric radiator Are but since yesterday, But a thousand thousand camp fires in the forest Are in my blood!. Let none tell me the past is wholly gone That is all I can find!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
