The mournful lines describe a bereaved heart watching a lost child in a bleak winter scene. Tears and sorrow wrap the speaker as the night winds wail and stars glow above. The poem contemplates the child’s memory and the hope of reunion in the home beyond.
A long polemic sermon at a Tinicum Hard Shell Baptist meeting blends religious exhortation with social commentary. The preacher cites symbols and dulcimers as he narrates travels among Hard Shells, reflecting on letters, care for readers, and the value of cheerful living amid rural life. It also includes a practical list of common poison remedies and a vivid street altercation scene featuring a racial slur exchange and a town confrontation.
A garbled stage passage blends religious riffs with wild characters, noting spirits in higher and lower spheres and a reporter in a crowded room. The scene shifts to a seated preacher and a wolfish costume as dialogue spirals into chaotic, ritualized speech.
