The loon, the wild-cat, and the bright-eyed fox;

For far away indeed

Are all the ominous noises of mankind,

The slaughterer's malice and the trader's greed:

Your rugged haunts endure no slavery:

No treacherous hand is there to crush or bind,

But all are free.

Therefore out of the stir

Of cities and the ever-thickening press

The poet and the worn philosopher
