The nook lay waiting around the bend,

Swelling with bob-white's melodies.

A little haven near the glen,

Of flowery branches, bushes, and trees.

 

A lad rushing off to play,

Discovered quick a castle mild.

And on my lonely walk that day,

My life was mirrored by the child.

 

Oh, there must be a haven for me!

An armor for the pending storm,

The all that hidden deviltry,

Won't  keep me naked or forlorn.
