Steep

Much ado is all I see

(Although my roots were deep)

In fact it is surrounding me

The seething crowd intrudes all day

(I sank in hillsides deep)

Until I'm finally swept awayAlthough I thought my roots were deep

(The rivers that erode)

I sank them into hillsides steep

And riverbanks that soon erode

(And canyons overflow)

And canyons that have overflowed
