They gore no more, they bellow no more, They trundle around the hills no more:— With the Blackfeet, lying low, With the Pawnees, lying low, Lying low.
Vachel Lindsay Quotes
Drabs from the alleyways and drug fiends pale--- Minds still passion-ridden, soul-power frail:--- Vermin-eaten saints with moldy breath, Unwashed legions with the ways of Death--- (Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?)

About
Nicholas Vachel Lindsay was an American poet. He is considered the father of modern singing poetry, as he referred to it, in which verses are meant to be sung or chanted. His extensive correspondence with the poet Yeats details his intentions to revive the musical qualities in poetry as had been practiced by the ancient Greeks.
