Amid the rustle of his planted hills,
Life overflows without ambitious pains;
And rains down life until the basin spills,
And mounts more dizzy high the more it rains
As though to choose whatever shape it wills....”

“One of the People! Born to be
Their curious epitome;
To share yet rise above
Their shifting hate and love.”
