NEW MEXICO QUARTERLY REVIEW
MESSAGE TO HITLER
(A Prophecy)
Snarl dog~tooth, snarl the red· star's rage;
Bite at the world, Time's wrinkled sphere.
War can~ot hide the 'strife you wage
On family; love 'and Christian cheer.

GBaw rat-head, gnaw y<:>ur cellar mind~ .
, With thoughts of fierce~ and acid scar.
Who shrieked for bombs and blasted hlind
The infal}-t's with the soldier's star?
Shrink black-heart, cower, hug your hate;
The sword is out that victors won;
Swift-cowled the future eagles wflit
To claw your death-mask ,from tAe sun.
EARTH SONG
The desert struggles with the palm;
The damp with riot o1.fhe rose;
An.d thought still pricks the wise from calm,
Who tend the garland where it grows.
Though change may storm us insecure,
Qr lonely whistling leave us dead;
All men of truth are sober-sure,
That art'is strong which yields ~s bread.
