Do Not Ever Deceive Me

Do Not Ever Deceive Me ---------------------------------- I Won’t wish: Beat in lonely a pretty boy. Hit a dog, asleep in shade. Stone a bird singing on tree. Rob a blind beggar returning home. Pull an insect’s legs Climbing a slippery wall. Raise a barrier ere an ant Dragging a grain toward her hole. I’ll fear the springs, In summers I shall den; Rejoice with the autumns, Leaves falling of trees; And be delighted with the harsh winters, Lovers can not see. I’ll taunt the sun’s routine rise And call it mechanical, And tell him hasten his set In the July’s long-day evenings. And abhor the stars-adorn calm sky; And greet the gruesome gloomy nights Which roar and light, When stormy winds blow, and still doesn’t rain. May then wilt the leaves of trees early! May then wither the blooming roses!
