A California song, A prophecy and indirection, a thought impalpable to breathe as air, A chorus of dryads, fading, departing, or hamadryads departing, A murmuring, fateful, giant voice, out of the earth and sky, Voice of a mighty dying tree in the redwood forest dense.
Farewell my brethren, Farewell O earth and sky, farewell ye neighboring waters, My time has ended, my term has come.
