Been lost in books This new found day Drowning in their words Find time by what they say
The Great American Dead!*
Their voices stifled By dust, in bookcases Their pages rifled By Pilgrims seeking places
To give glory To the Great American Story.
Often they've looked in On the old, cold dark walls and halls of Europeans But that boat has sailed With the Revolution
And Moderns; We seek Curt details.
*Dickinson, Longfellow, Whitman, Frost, Williams
