Strangers

Edna Wahlert McCourt

A Father speaks:
YOU are a bough and I am the tree:

Why are you reaching over the wall?

What do you see?

You are a fawn and I the deer:

Why do you bound to that farthest hill?

What do you hear?

You are a glacier and I am the snow:

Why do you move across the broad land?

Where do you go?
