A LETTER FROM MARY IN THE TYROL

You may believe you’re as sorry as you say you are

Not to be hiking with me over mountain meadows,

Sorry your duties at home keep you from travel.

Still, I have to admit I was tempted this afternoon,

As I stood in a guildhall square by a clock tower,

To liken you to the painted soldier

Lurching from his house high in the clock face

To tap the rim of his drum two times.

He looked so full of his mission, so solemn,

As if without his efforts the dome of the sky,

Turning too slow or fast, would begin to wobble,

And crack in the middle, and come crashing down.
