POET.
O a new song, a free song, / Flapping, flapping, flapping, flapping, by sounds, by voices clearer, / By the wind's voice and that of the drum, / By the banner's voice, and child's voice, and sea's voice, and father's voice, / Low on the ground and high in the air, / On the ground where father and child stand, / In the upward air where their eyes turn, / Where the banner at daybreak is flapping.
