First the summer, And then the spring The flutter of these tiny things: Wisps that whisper grim designs, Minds that watch the final light. As the moon ascends on high, As the sun slips from the night, We still pause and ask us why We endure this dreary plight. Third the winter, Then the fall- So speaks the wisest of them all: "Each dark one comes, Each dark one goes, But never within my tiny home. Never alone on dreary road, Nor billowed winter, Nor softest snow. Through the quaint streets that I roam, Of dainty house and dim-lit home. But even so, as we roam, I ask this always, Please- do not forego: Along this dark road that I here roam, Together, we are not alone- So never shall I be alone."

The Lady on Second Street
First the summer, And then the spring The flutter of these tiny things: Wisps that whisper grim designs, Minds that watch the final light. As the moon ascends on high, As the sun slips from the night, We still pause and ask us why We endure this dreary plight. Third the winter, Then the fall- So speaks the wisest of them all: "Each dark one comes, Each dark one goes, But never within my tiny home. Never alone on dreary road, Nor billowed winter, Nor softest snow. Through the quaint streets that I roam, Of dainty house and dim-lit home. But even so, as we roam, I ask this always, Please- do not forego: Along this dark road that I here roam, Together, we are not alone- So never shall I be alone."
