Death– He kindly stopped for me–
The carriage held just ourselves
And Immortality
(ii) The white man, disguised
as a falcon, swoops in
and yet again steals a salmon
from Crow’s talon.
(iii) They added ridge to valley,
brook to pond; And signed
for all that bounded their
domain; This suits me for a
pasture; that’s my park; We

gravel, granite-ledge

Or if the slain thinks he is slain
They know not well the subtle ways
I keep, and pass, and turn again
