The Man of Snow <br />Yes <br />Man, human, humanity <br /> <br /> <br />He lay <br />Stretched hand stretched long <br />Over a field of snow <br />In ancient Patagonia. <br /> <br />And <br />Though he moved not <br />Out and in <br />He breathed. <br /> <br />And <br />In that vastness of the wild <br />He cared not <br />Nor had the appetite <br />For any thing. <br /> <br />Ah! that we <br />We humans be <br />Be as the Man of Snow <br />Stretched <br />Stretched hand stretched long <br />Over a field of snow <br />In ancient Patagonia.<br /><br />Emmanuel George Cefai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-man-of-snow/
