                Why have I been beyond;
                where roads are taken by,
                why haven't I some bonds:
                when time have always tried;
                have spirits not been fond
                of solitary flights;
                or have I gone these months
                by self-indulgent lies;
                how fairly low;
                how rarely seen;
                how lowly yet,
                so evergreen;
                his burdening of cons;
                his bruises-needing rise;
                all failures but have calmed
                his inner-aching whys;
                so sudden-coming guards
                no seeking for rely;
                within the hopes they scarred;
                he's soaring his own skies;
                how fairly low;
                how rarely seen;
                how lowly yet,
                so evergreen.
