Lie too many and many a timenLie too many and many a timenCross the river, the river of bonesnSaw the flagship of summer on the waternAnd my eyes fell to the edges and dregs of peacenPack my hearts, dazzled mindsnLooked at the fires, looked at the frontsnCentrifugal spokes of minenRound the shape, my headingnSome live in waternMany and many a timenLie too many and many a timenCross the river, the river of bonesnSaw reflections of summer in the skiesnAnd my eyes, and my eyes, says my summernBurn shivering tracks of leavesnn[Sample: Hilda Doolittle reading her poem Helen in Egypt]
