Assiduity

Thinnest rush tried the strand
Crossing ankles, grasping land

Till the fence, mewling breeze
Give to thickest sentry trees

Gallop closer, gallop through
Pierce the form, that fortitude

Splinted spear, defiled sword
Riven by a doughty ward

Fissure of the ferric peaks
A vale to form, a fault to seek
