She had the color of dusk
on her bonny bright face
and her voice had a husk
with a sensuous trace....
...
Each day when sun rises at dawn
and on their perch the sparrows tweet
heavenly pearls roll down my lawn...
Each day when sun rises at dawn
...
One evening when the sun was low
I strolled down the road below
and deep in thoughts that had a flow
tried to recover the golden glow....
...
There is an aim
I vie to achieve
there is a dream
I die to live...
...
Much before spring
when the dry leaves fall
the bare brown branches
gave me a call....
...
Oh poor thing! i can see you though
facing the agony that others don't know
with no dream alive in those swollen desperate eyes
except the ailing belly's hope of some inflow...
...
Where are the days
when they were all mine
and i had those toys
at eight or late nine..
...
Do you feel a crisis nowadays
yes, the one I didn't in my age
and at once comes the reply
resources have all gone dry
...
I break at times
and sing the rhymes
rhymes that raise
feelings divine....
...
You have plans for it or not
but it comes your way
you have desires for it or not
but it comes your way
...
