the Goose and the Wren
Hop Along, Queen Ansleis

While in the form of the owlnthe goose and the wrennleft the shores of Maryland to find better oxygennwhile the outcry of twenty mennrun from the nearby battalionnas if we avoid their light then we might make it home tonightnnand one old crook(?), carries a very heavy booknfriends would say 'Sir, are you sure some good could come of your learning?'nnand he said 'My girl gave it to me just before the war. I've never read a book like this before. It's giving me kind of a kind of a burning.'nnBut if it is love then I'm not quite sure if I should keep it, but I've heard it's apart of the whole so I guess I need it. But I'll certainly be sure to stay above the ground. Lately beautiful things got a way of bringing me downnnHere lie one hundred men, fighters every one of them. They went into the light and oh no they won't be home tonight.nnAnd I came upon a kid with a kite, despite the storms said he's going to fly. So I said 'Brother, what would your mother say?'nnAnd he said Hold your tongue! It was a present. AND GOD DAMN I AM A MAN, I AIN'T AFRAID OF THE RAIN!'nnBut what can a bystander do? No more than watch the spidery lights take a hold of you.n'But you know I warned you boy, you know I told you boy. I'll hold you back boy, but now I don't know but cause in a curious kind of way I want to grow along with you.'nnAnd morning did come, I was standing struck dumb by a dead man in the sun and the only live one held a string from his thumb that stretched up to the sky, where the heron flew by singing Oh me and oh my!'nnAnd the goose and the wren, no I have not seen them but the water looks nice so I do not think twice. And I'm sure that they're fine very good friends of mine cause sometimes I can't tell when things are unwell. By the look of the sea staring straight back at me and I miss him I do but I think it is true that when the love go its the lovers who show just how lonely they are in a song or a scar. Sincerely your friend, write back to me wren, I've been thinking too much down here in the sand.nnThe farmer stands and says What happened to the land? It used to be fertile. It used to be good, when I was a lad'nnThe farmer calls out to this men says 'It's getting late boys, it's best you come back in.'
