24| After searching for days or even months
25| I finally find it reclining lazily
26| [above the peaks][] above the city as if to ask
27| Did you miss me? Yes very much I reply
28| and rush to embrace it but it smiles
29| and recoils and tells me No no you
30| have to try harder than that it says
31| I do not give myself up so easily
32
33| I try a different tack
34| I sing to it bring it flowers nightly
35| I compare its eyes to the morning dew
36| it has not seen the morning dew
37| I say its mouth is the sunset over mountains
38| it knows mountains but the sunset
39| is only a rumor from the Evening Star
40| I tell the Big Dipper that it moves
41| [like a quiet river across the earth][]
42
43| Rivers I have seen says the Big Dipper
44| they sparkle in the light from my stars
45| Your stars like eyes I say and it smiles
46| [No it says that is too easy][]
47| It turns its back
48| it walks home along the back of the mountain
