Frontispiece: But God's own descent -- Pod of the milkweed -- Away! -- Cabin in the clearing -- Closed for good -- America is hard to see -- One more brevity -- Escapist-never -- For John F. Kennedy his Inauguration -- Cluster of Faith: Accidentally on purpose ; Never naught song ; Version ; Concept self-conceived ; Forgive, O Lord -- Kitty Hawk -- Auspex -- Draft horse -- Ends -- Peril of hope -- Questioning faces -- Does no one at all ever feel this way in the least? -- Bad island-Easter -- Our doom to bloom -- Objection to being stepped on -- A-wishing well -- How hard it is to keep from being king when it's in you and in the situation -- Lines written in dejection on the eve of great success -- Milky Way is a cowpath -- Some science fiction -- Quandary: Quandary ; Reflex ; In a glass of cider ; From iron ; Four-room shack aspiring high ; But outer space ; On being chosen poet of Vermont ; We vainly wrestle with the blind belief ; It takes all sorts of in and outdoor schooling ; In winter in the woods alone.
