"Name me no names for my disease, With uninforming breath; I tell you I am none of these, But homesick unto death â€”Homesick for hills that I had known, For brooks that I had crossed, Before I met this flesh and bone And followed and was lostâ€¦ .And though they break my heart at last, Yet name no name of ills. Say only, â€œHere is where he passed, Seeking again those hills."
