The Old Earth
From The Man with the Hoe and Other Poems (1899)
Social Commentaries
How will it be if there we find no traces--
There in the Golden Heaven--if we find
No memories of the old Earth left behind,
No visions of familiar forms and faces--
Reminders of old voices and old places?
Yet could we bear it if it should remind?
