Saccharine smiling sorrow in the golden afternoon
and then satirical sadness of the Green Man
who grins haphazardly from behind my chamber door
looking into his sleepy gaze
nature's song sends me into an enchanted daze
Sleeping serenade of the waking wonderland
summertime sadness drowns our thoughts
closing my eyes, there's the Green Man again
waiting in the shadows
for the red hare to give in and follow
