For boyhood days we cry, a little lost cry is hidden deep within the man. There lies a bit in ALL of us, and when we die -- we take a piece of life with us. Tennyson in Ulysses speaks:

Deep peace in the deep night near the loon's call.

the Native soil.
The pond to skate thereon and fly there over.
Pure Iris beds!

Gull point-geese -— resting. The ice in spring
piled and caked to miniature icebergs
and boat hauling out to lobster season
and fifteen men, good men, haul and heave and shove. There‘s AZ and May blest souls that's gone
They knew another world - somehow a strangely different world,
