Lyric in Third and Fourth Forms 1970

Song "{ tlo''Porr[y'.l

That aching tortured thoughts that fall like rain Might cease; that this dead shell might not so lie. But God decreed I should be how I am. Hg gave my mind the chance to rule my being- Toblay the wolf and not the timid lamb- So nurture I my hearing and my seeing. Although the bmren body lives despised, The mind k fruitful of the paralysed.

Oh, but to move one helpless, dormant finger! To reach, and touch, and graip, and feel the roughness Of a stone; to feel, to let sense linger On avelvet rose; to tug the toughness Of a surly weed; to bear some pain, Some ache, some prick, that tears and sweat might dry;

Poetry in Second Form 1970

.//lo,niog C^il

I waken in the morning, To the happy sound ofbirds, Trilling at the glad new dawning, Yet I do not know the words. They sip the nectar from the brush, And drink ttll they are dizzy, And then away with such a rush, O why are they so busy? They flutter through the branches, Resplendent in their reds and greens, Their songs my day enhances, Yet I'll never know their dreams.
