MARCH 7.

BACK, BACK TO NATURE.

Weary! I am weary of the madness of the town,

Deathly weary of all women, and all wine.

Back, back to Nature! I will go and lay me down,

Bleeding lay me down before her shrine.

For the mother-breast the hungry babe must call,

Loudly to the shore cries the surf upon the sea;

Hear, Nature wide and deep! after man's mad festival
