Bye, Bye, World

 

Away I want to slip into slumber sweet and deep,

With the wings of goddess of sleep

Never to return but ever to fly.

 

From horizon to horizon will I flaot like a boat,

And swim like a bird in the world infinite,

And unknown to me yet mostly my own.

 

Soothed will I be from the hurries and worries,

And fret and fury of mundane,

With no askings, no if’s and but’s of officialdom.

 

Yes, there, there, there far away into eternity,

Aching I am to pluck and scud away.
