wraiths

          Look back seldomly.

    Ultimately true,
          They secretly do:

                  Thought long-ago slain,
          Echoes, they don’t cease—

      Warrior-wraiths remain.

        But iron your crease;
            Chiseled-stone, refrain:

      The best, duck-maybe,
Is the plane they won

            Just ahead o’ thee.
