He sauntered in the marshland mist.
His footsteps he had never missed.
Never had he his, footsteps missed.
He sauntered in the marshland mist.
'Twas early, near dawn, the grey stays.
He thought the path went on a ways.
The path, he thought, went on a ways.
'Twas early, near dawn, the grey stays.
Melodic harp strings heard strumming.
Toward heaven he gazed, humming.
He gazed toward heaven, humming.
Melodic harp strings heard strumming.
He sauntered in the marshland mist.
His footsteps had he never missed.
'Twas early, near dawn, the grey stays.
He thought the path went on a ways.
Melodic harp strings heard strumming.
He gazed toward heaven, humming.
