    Day on the Farm
    By Luis G. Dato

    I’ve found you fruits of sweetest taste and found you


    Bunches of Duhat growing by the hill,
    I’ve bound your arms and hair with vine and bound you
    With rare wildflowers but you are crying still.

     
    I’ve brought you all the forest ferns and brought you
    Wrapped in green leaves cicadas singing sweet,
    I’ve caught you in my arms an hour and taught you
    Love’s secret where the mountain spirits meet.

     
    Your smiles have died and there is no replying
    To all endearment and my gifts are vain;
    Come with me, love, you are too old for crying,
    The church bells ring and I hear drops of rain.
    A Cloud Named Looking-for-You 
    by Marne L. Kilates
     

    My heart aches like the heaving sea;


    My tears riddle the face of the water;
    My pain comes in guests, emptying me.

    Cursed with wandering, thin as air,


    How can I touch the bottom of this grief?
    How can I lift this shroud that covers
    My love’s grave?

    My heart heaves like the aching sea;


    My tears riddle the face of the water;
    My pain comes in guest, emptying me.
