The Fisherman. (Mindanao, Philippines.)
In the dark waveless sea, Deep blue under deep blue, The fisher drifts by on the tide In his small pole-balanced canoe. Above him the cloud-clapped hills Crown the dense jungly sweeps; The cocoa-nut groves hedge round The hut where the beach-wave sleeps. Is it not better so To be as this savage is, Than to live the wage-slave's life Of hopeless agonies?
