Was I weighed down with longing?
My garden didn't thrive...
Honor, hope and strength, or wisdom?
Just give up all five!

I tread you ocean floor
I float above the poor
Shall I drop rhyme or sense or grammar?
Or shall I drop all four?

Someone must have mapped this place,
It seems unmapped to me
Do I lose longitude, or latitude?
Or do I ditch all three?

I say the same the raven did,
when his long tale he quoth,
Should I maintain my silence, friend,
Or just give up them both?
