    There’s a pleasant port where a boy fixed his course
    On a lesser-trodden landscape north
    And on his journey boreal met one corporeal
    One returning journey forth

    “What draws you to the barren there,” he said
    “That land is nothing but dampen dread,
    and sour berries, and rotten cherries,
    and icy rime and that snowy, snowy pine.

    That bleak, bare lawn is woebegone
    But carry, carry, carry on”

    “Oh no,” he said “You must have misunderstood,
    it’s not the land’s comestible goods,
    not the berry that I seek
    but the way it hangs on the arrow wood

    And I am not after that snowy shawl
    But the way the faint flakes float and fall
    And to me that alabaster milky rime
    Is as sweet as sugar and just as fine

    And I don’t care one bit that the pines are gone
    But I do care what they look like at dawn,
    I’m not concerned that their life is drawn
    But what happens to the land without their brawn.”

    And so his journey goes, though his story’s old
    But a tale is not trite if it’s still being told
