dumbass

okay, so i put too many pages in the book. do i do the whole thing over, or write another poem?

sigh. being me...

song

there was a girl went underground
(went underground, went underground).
under hill and under down
(under down, under down).

the ones who loved her sought her round
(sought her round, sought her round).
they sought her up and sought her down
(sought her down, sought her down).

they turned up earth, they dug the ground
(dug the ground, dug the ground).
they found her in the earth deep down
(earth deep down, earth deep down).

her eyes were glass, her hair was down
(hair was down, hair was down).
her hands were red, her hair unbound
(hair unbound, hair unbound).

they took her up out of the ground
(out of the ground, out of the ground).
they took her back to hearth and town
(hearth and town, hearth and town).

in her narrow bed they laid her down
(laid her down, laid her down).
they went, came back, and found her gone
(found her gone, found her gone).

and in her narrow bed they found
(bed they found, bed they found)
a rose full-blown, a rose
full-blown, a rose
full-blown.
