    THERE are places I go when I am strong.
         One is a marsh pool where I used to go
                     with a long-ear hound-dog.
         One is a wild crabapple tree; I was there
               a moonlight night with a girl.
         The dog is gone; the girl is gone; I go to these
               places when there is no other place to go.
