Fear

And so!
I fear the dog
And the dog fears me!
I fear the cat
And the cat fears me!
The lizard on the wall,
Yea! That fears me,
And I fear it,
The lizard on the wall.

I run away from them,
And they run away from me.
And oh! We are so far away.

And indeed the world is so!
I fear you,
You fear me.
I run away from you,
You run away from me.
And the distances increase,
And we are so far away,
Too fear to hear,
One another's cries-
Cries of joy
And cries of pain.

Only if we had,
Tried to overcome the fear,
And come a little closer,
The world would have been,
A better place to live!!!!!!!!!!!!

You left me away

You who have gone away,
Far away from me,
I think of you night and day,
Beside the rising sea.

Tell me why a blooming flower,
And the moon's light,
Bring tears that make eyes sour,
And me cry all night.

The nightingale still does sing,
And the birds do fly,
But lost is the hope that tears bring,
As time passes by.

I remember your smiling face,
Your rosy lips so red,
You, so full of life and grace,
How can you be dead!
