Mapping Indigenous Poetry of North America, 1830-1924

"My Fancy" by Alex Posey

Why do trees along the river 
Lean so far out o'er the tide? 
Very wise men tell me why, but
I am never satisfied; 
And so I keep my fancy still, 
That trees lean out to save
The drowning from the clutches of 
The cold, remorseless wave.
