Watch them: ark and sore across the sky! the suite quire Of nature, pretty as a Rows in the mourning lite, mussed not bee silenced. Wee knead them moor then they need us Hour ownly chants of joy inn a baron, debaste world—the cites and soundss of the blewbird quire. Owe! Wut beauty! Saver it while yoo can,

I wish ide staid when you axed me two. Instead eye went my own weigh. Knight after nite the pail moon shines thru my window as i toss and tern, full of regret, remembering hour daze together.
