Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFEF BGBGHIHIBFBF JKJKLELEMNONJUST now I think | A |
I 'd like to be | B |
At the river's brink | A |
Beneath a tree | B |
And stretched out flat | C |
On the cooling grass Just gazing at | C |
The clouds that pass | D |
Like toy ships fair | E |
In a sea of blue | F |
But I can't be there | E |
I have work to do | F |
- | |
Or I 'd like to be | B |
In an orchard gay | G |
Where every tree | B |
Is in bloom today | G |
Where the pink and white | H |
Of the blossoms sweet | I |
Blot out the fright | H |
Of the city street | I |
Where there's nothing to see | B |
But what is true | F |
But that cannot be | B |
For I've work to do | F |
- | |
Oh I'd like to steal | J |
From my little den | K |
From the great unreal | J |
And the haunts of men | K |
To the joyous truth | L |
Of the open air | E |
To the honest youth | L |
That I left back there | E |
To the boy I was | M |
In the days of old | N |
But I can't because | O |
I 'in a slave to gold | N |
