How can I never
Manage to sever
Thoughts of sadness
The intolerance of injustice
Not so great to miss
That comforting kiss
When as a young'un
As a growing man
Was on hand to relinquish
The burden of a broken wish
A forbidden prosperity
Cut down in my prime
A worthless commodity
I cannot discharge
I cannot destroy
I cannot survive
If I cannot employ
Reason of virtue
And of common sense
That timeless moment
Never too intense
