O child, this is your human dream
This is your human sleep
And don’t strain so hard to climb
From what is healthy and deep
I love the dream you began beneath my evergreen
I love the pebble and the sun
And all that lies between.

And for this conversation in the light of early morning
I offer these dreary days
That fray before your eyes
Nor can I know how many more
Will pass before I am dissolved
And all that this song has left you have placed
On the tongue of your creature.

(Each pebble) L.C
