Plans For Nobody
Andromeda, I cry to thee
Athwart the leaden hills
'Cross the lonely parsecs
No nebula I see
O starry night, O universe
Oh nation built from mud!
Please tell me it was not in vain
To spill so little blood
And if your constellation
Triangle, or square
Or even something rather worse
Should witness mine oration
Or suffer with my pain
Then this should be my fate:
Please tell me it was not in naive
But forlorn hope I toiled
Where only pygmies grieve
To come at last to this:
Andromeda, I cry to thee
Bring solace to mine ills
