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!
