<p id="id00067" style="margin-top: 4em"> Driftwood</p>
<p id="id00068" style="margin-top: 3em"> My forefathers gave me<br/>
My spirit's shaken flame,<br/>
The shape of hands, the beat of heart,<br/>
The letters of my name.<br/></p>
<p id="id00069"> But it was my lovers,<br/>
And not my sleeping sires,<br/>
Who gave the flame its changeful<br/>
And iridescent fires;<br/></p>
<p id="id00070"> As the driftwood burning<br/>
Learned its jewelled blaze<br/>
From the sea's blue splendor<br/>
Of colored nights and days.<br/></p>
