We are the night ocean filled with glints of light, We are the space between the fish and a moon, while we sit here together.
Birdsong bring relief to my linging.
I am just as ecstatic as they are, but with nothing to say!
Please, universal soul, practice some song, or something, through me!
Thanks for joining me!
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
Sit down, sad soul, and count
The moments flying;
Come, tell the sweet amount
That’s lost by sighing!
How many smiles? —- a score?
Then laugh and count no more;
For day is dying!
Lie down, sad soul, and sleep,
and no more measure
The flight of time, nor weep
The loss of leisure;
By here, by this lone stream,
Lie down with us, and dream
Of stray treasure!
We dream: do thou the same;
We love, —— forever;
We laugh, yet few we shame; —–
The gentle never.
Stay, then, till sorrow dies;
Then —- hope and happy skies
Are thine forever!
