Andjoys tender yet none stronger fill my heart fear it bursting
And for the while esconced in my art
And wish would there dwell for ever
Now as the days go by have learnt to run along
I hold iirm its whirling chariot
When cant sttope its madening swiftness
I find recourse in my art
I have learnt to creat anew with each new day.
