And all I wanted was just to be alone
But now I found myself smiling with no reason
Funny that sometimes you're in my imagination

The moon, a silver wafer, clings.

Sprang from the rally, and leapt for the height.

As we have seen it here from day to day,
From month to month, life passing not away:

And humbler growths as moved with one desire
Put on, to welcome spring, their best attire,

Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

To move along the edges of the hills,

We Who Stay At Home

When you were just our little boy, on many a night we crept
Unto your cot and watched o'er you, and all the time you slept.
We tucked the covers round your form and smoothed your pillow, too,
And sometimes stooped and kissed your cheeks, but that you never knew.

And when I jump into the air he never leaves the ground.
