History is hurtling
believe it or not
to resolutions
such as these
History is hurtling
believe it or not
to resolutions
such as these
Why would I make you work and guess
at what I really mean
unless I hardly know myself
or hate the thought of coming clean
Pluck cherries from an ever-ripe tree
Here I stake my feary claim
A dewfall on the heart.
Now not they but it
must turn and change colors
and bring forth life
from the duty divine.
