you you are quite timid, my dear. words so soft-spoken that the wind must stop to catch you fears. *i. i know you sit in the front pew of the church, yet you don't sing.* why does your hair cover your eyes, and your head gloom so low? why does your presence not glow? *ii. i know you know every answer, but you don't say a thing.* you you my dear, are more than skin covering bones. you mustn't let your temple be overthrown my sticks and stones. *iii. i know you contrast every human being.*

you you are quite timid, my dear. words so soft-spoken that the wind must stop to catch you fears. *i. i know you sit in the front pew of the church, yet you don't sing.* why does your hair cover your eyes, and your head gloom so low? why does your presence not glow? *ii. i know you know every answer, but you don't say a thing.* you you my dear, are more than skin covering bones. you mustn't let your temple be overthrown my sticks and stones. *iii. i know you contrast every human being.*
