Up the tumultuous brook of Green-head Ghyll,

Guessing Time
It's guessing time at our house; every evening after tea
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.

And should have come to grief,

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

I Don-t Remember The Word I Wished To Say

The blind swallow returns to the hall of shadow,

Too gauntly glared the coming day.
