For the tourist's
brown pennies scattered at the old church door,
the ragged papooses jump, and bite the dust.

Additional quotes by A. M. Klein

Where are the braves, the faces like autumn fruit,
who stared at the child from the coloured frontispiece?

This is a grassy ghetto, and no home.

And my tears, too, have stained this heirloomed ground,
When reading in these treatises some weird
Miracle, I turned a leaf and found
A white hair fallen from my father's beard.
