What Can I Do
What else could I write For it’ll still be a sad night. These thoughts become so dreary Then, of this night, I’ll become weary. So I pray to you God of my thinking, Cease my habition, let this body have it’s peaceful winking. But if dream I must, grant me this and satisfied I shall be: Make her understanding, and enchanted by only me. Bestow in her a personality like that of myth And with her, my whole life, I’d spend with. Mind I not that it’ll come to me in a state of distraught; Her tip toeing in my head will calm that thought. I beg you let me see those eyes, soul, or any part; Let change come to my dreams and swoon this tired heart.
