Analysis of Thoughts
Neil McLeod 1947 (Oxford)
I rise
In the morning
See skies
In the morning,
And there
With the dawning
Are you.
Coffee
Vapours drifting
Set
My mind drifting
And
The thought lifting
Comes through.
Spring-fields
Of day time
Run head back
In day time
Alone
Now, a gay time
On dew.
At noon
In the stillness
I lie warm
In the stillness
And dream
Of that fullness
I drew.
Evening
Shades falling
Blue
Guitar calling
A song
It is calling
For you.
