So plump and pied were valleys wide
Where I with golden heart reside,
Beneath blue heavens ample crease
Where golden buds blow side to side.
From lying in that wealthy lease
I crowned all skies the master’s piece,
Whose bulky realms by suns were wheeled
To wear the noontime’s golden fleece.
Written in the Fall of 1994
