And fsa. cap with a bright cocks
And shining boots, for I'm setting

have a tryst with an eager Wind.
A tryst with a patient star.
They are watching. both, for a GRIM
son cloak.
On a hill where love-fires are.
But I am going another road!
And they may sigh together.
o, am bent on a Whimsey way,
This blue and silver weather.
There's a path that wanders 1 know

And that's the path I've taken
My foolish, happy, questlng heart
At every cross-road shaken.
At every turn my foolish hands
Pluck sprigs of love and laughter
To fold within the crimson cloak
And keep forever after!
