A reflective verse piece recalls school days by a brook and locust trees now altered as the place decays. Lovers reminisce on aging, lost swing vines, and a shared future beyond the shore, set against a mix of anecdotes and regional notices.
A preacher at the funeral of a man named Rann delivers a harsh, ironic eulogy. He jokes that Rann would want to be shown as a warning rather than a saint and mocks his life and death with blunt anecdotes. The sermon moves to a sarcastic prediction of miracles in heaven and the irony of who may be present.
