Up the tumultuous brook of Green-head Ghyll,

Guessing Time

We start guessing what old Santa's going to leave us on our tree.
Everyone of us holds secrets that the others try to steal,
And that eyes and lips are plainly having trouble to conceal.

I'd rather duck under my bed tonight.
The cold chills but the shimmers delight,
The mornings of a dark spell so right.

For failure I was well equipped
And should have come to grief,
By atavism grimly gripped,
A fool beyond belief.

I Don-t Remember The Word I Wished To Say

The blind swallow returns to the hall of shadow,
on shorn wings, with the translucent ones to play.
The song of night is sung without memory, though.
