The Unknown + 

Ye aspiring ones, listen to the story of the unknown + 

Who lies here with no stone to mark the place. + 

As a boy reckless and wanton, + 

Wandering with gun in hand through the forest + 

Near the mansion of Aaron Hatfield, + 

I shot a hawk perched on the top + 

Of a dead tree. + 

He fell with guttural cry + 

At my feet, his wing broken. + 

Then I put him in a cage + 

Where he lived many days cawing angrily at me + 

When I offered him food. + 

Daily I search the realms of Hades + 

For the soul of the hawk, + 

That I may offer him the friendship + 

Of one whom life wounded and caged. + 
