Cattle and Cane |
| I recall a schoolboy coming home |
| Through fields of cane |
| To a house of tin and timber |
| And in the sky |
| A rain of falling cinders |
| From time to time |
| The waste memory-wastes |
| I recall a boy in bigger pants |
| Like everyone |
| Just waiting for a chance |
| His father’s watch |
| He left it in the showers |
| From time to time |
| The waste memory-wastes |
| I recall a bigger brighter world |
| A world of books |
| And silent times in thought |
| And then the railroad |
| The railroad takes him home |
| Through fields of cattle |
| Through fields of cane |
| From time to time |
| The waste memory-wastes |
| The waste memory-wastes |
| Further, longer, higher, older |
