SADNESS GROWS QUITE LIKE MUSIC

 

sadness grows then it snowballs

or a rose unfolding in the dark

sadness mists I can hear this

sing like rain, self sustaining

what is wistful can be tender

beautiful, beautiful

just as long as you remember

sadness cannot last

gladnesses are best

sadness flows like a river

wave on wave

for king or knave

like a rose unfolding in the dark

guard your very heart

some who know make music, music

I've not heard the Muse refuse it

lovely, lovelier longing for a better earth

a heaven full of mirth.
