Chapter 13 memory, come here

memory here sing your joyful song and when your singing drift away with the wind I will meditate by the running water couple sighing in dream I will be in the mirror like water fishing for ethereal dreams I will drink clear water Hear the song of the cardinal i will lie down there dreaming all day When night comes I will go place to be sad Leaning along the dark valley with silent melancholy Memory, hither come, And tune your merry notes; And while upon the wind Your music floats, Ill pore upon the stream, Where sighing lovers dream, And fish for fancy as they pass

Within the water glass. Ill drink of the clear stream, And hear the linnets song; And there Ill lie and dream The day along; And, when night comes, Ill go To places fit for woe; Walking along the darkend valley, With silent Melancholy.
