LITTLE SONG WITH AN ECHO

 

LITTLE SONG WITH AN ECHO

I have fixed my star

In the nethermost sky

And I know that it

Is about to rise

To rise

 

I have stirred the cream

With a little spoon

And carried my silver

Into the moon

The moon

 

In a sky of lead

It began to snow

And the sky of lead

Began to glow

To glow

 

and I thought of all the words

I said

In the afternoon

When the rose was red

 

And when the rose it turned to white

I knew the world

Was full of light

Of light.
