While taking a walk in New Haven

I saw her beauty standing there
In her cherry brick made house..
Strolling up as asking for a light
Arranging my blouse amid hope

Run away from the what
  let the how lead the way
Keep the questions before you
  and the answers at bay

Deem your motion perpetual
  with all stops left behind
As those presents unwrapped
  open up in your mind

May the wind rise to greet you
  and your sun never set
On those places now virgin
  and a lover unmet

May the wisdom of sages
  be your rallying cry
As you course through the ages
  —forever wondering why
