“Wachusett hides its lingering voice
Within its rocky heart,
And Allegheny graves its tone
Throughout his lofty chart.

Doth seal the sacred trust,
Your mountains build their monument,
Though ye destroy their dust.”

when I lived in the valley of my bones,
bones dumb in the swamp. Little playthings.”
