What whispers of the wind I hear
That spoke of sunset as it fell?
What song of minstrels set my ear
To rhyme my contemplative swell?
Poet!..all your sensitivity
Awaken gently nature's eye
To dim your thoughts' serenity
And your sorrowful cry
What canny author wrote
Of man's and woman's fate?
What felly draws the spoke
To the circle where they wait?
T'was his eye that kissed her mind
........And, she understood
That life will not be kind
In this neighbourhood
Fair wings' breath that cool
The temples of my brain
Brush away this simple fool
For, as victims.....we are insane
To vest the chilling moon
Insane to hope, insane to care
Insane to read that painful stare
For yesterday's hope painted the sky
And this morning is a lie
