I to the open roadA
You to the hunchbacked streetB
Which of us twoC
Shall the earlier rueC
That day we chanced to meetB
-
-
I with a heart that's soundD
You with sick fancies of painE
Which of us twoC
Would the earlier rueC
If we chanced to meet againF
-
I jingle homely loreG
While you rhyme is with kissH
Which of us twoC
Will the earlier rueC
The love of the Hoylake MissH
-
Not I the first to goI
Nor I the first to deceiveJ
Which of us twoC
Shall the the earliest rueC
Our garden of make believeJ
-
You were a Chinese godK
I an offering fairL
As we entered theM
Garden of AllahM
-
To sing our holy prayerL
Entered with hearts bowed lowI
Yet I heard a voice that criedN
For he is the god of theM
SacrificeO
You are the crucifiedN
-
It was all make believeJ
A foolish game of playP
Our garden of AllahM
A drawing roomQ
Our Chinese god of clayP
-
Strings of bruises for pearlsR
Tears for forget me notsS
And a deadly painE
Of the sickening shameT
Watching the fading spotsS
-
As quickly they fadedU
The heart of me faded as wellV
Until nothing is leftW
Of my gardenX
But a soul sunk to hellV
-
HailY
Poet prend ton lute Je disparaireL
No more together we'll enter theM
Enchanted garden of make believeJ
Nor my sad soul listen while thine deceiveJ
No more you'll be the God of SacrificeO
Nor I the crucifiedN
-
Ah Garden of Allah how bitter sweetB
Thy fruit Why breakest thou the heartZ
Why spoilest thou the soul with notesA2
From thy golden luteB2
Lo our garden a common roomQ
Our Chinese god burnt clay andC2
The singing of verses a funeral hymnD2
That awakes with awakening dayP
-
'Twas all such a meaningless playP
Poet prend ton lute Je disparaitreL
HailY
-
Poet take my hand we'll walkE2
Still a little wayP
I'll not desert thee at the close of dayP
I too must prayP
A beggar asking alms of passers byF2
Does not refuse a drink to one who's dryF2
That once by him did lieF2
-
Poet come close before I leave for ayeF2
Take thou my hand we'll walk stillG2
A little wayP
-
One garment covered both to keep us warmH2
What harmed the one was't not the other's harmI2
Close clasped one single formH2
Was it not meant of ayeF2
Poet take thou my hand we'll stillG2
Walk a little wayP
