Aliens

ALIENS O ye who walk where no shadow falls To darken the sun-kissed day, Can ye sense the need when a brother calls, Who perishes by the way? O ye whose protected feet ne'er tripped On the cruel jutting stone, Can ye agonize for those who've slipped, As they traveled their path alone?

O ye who have never felt the fangs Of a gnawing hunger's want, Are ye in haste to appease the pangs Of the specter wan and gaunt?

O ye who have never known the dart Of the archer grim and hoar, Can ye comfort bring to the wounded heart 'Yond the close-shut, wreath-draped door?

O ye who walk where no shadow falls To darken the sun-kissed days, Ye are fenced about by golden walls, Ye know naught of other ways. Grace Ingles Frost
