With his name painted clearly on each:
But, since he omitted to mention the fact,
They were all left behind on the beach.”

Her name is never heard;
My lips are now forbid to speak
That once familiar word.”

And the names which stem from them branch out to other referents.
Hugely, spring exists again.”
