Earth, planet, East
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
Farewell!
Mighty Rio Grande de Cagayan
Lush Laguna de Bay
Fertile Sierra Madre.
And the whole of
The Pearl of the Orient
In your undying effulgence.
I shall fly
Upon the planet’s entirety.
‘Tis my home:
Planet Earth!
[Writ. 23 Aug. 1987, Univ. of the Philippines, Quezon City, M.Manila.]
