Run river run
Past kits and cats and caty kits
Past garden gate and apple tree
Through silly slopes and bendy bays
And bright copper kettles
And warm woollen rings
Round and about the roundabout
With Myrtle and Merrill and aunty may
Back to the sea and soft soap swell
Of weft and wave and windy wish
On the clanky sand pebble racked pile
On Weed covered slippy slick edge of tomorrow
From a house in the cloister close comfort
To the rough street of cobble crunch and clutter
He walked the mornings misty way
And sleepy haze of daylight dreams and ultimate forgetfulness
Of lost remembrance and misplaced moments
In the autumn twilight of yesterday
He walked past fallen wall and fallow farm
With an old soldier who had no name
Strangers greeting in quiet accident
Towards a door both faint and familiar
With blue and brass and burning bright
And with a gesture did depart
Today and tomorrow and forever
Our yesterdays and neverdays
Forgotten and remembered days
lazy half grown salad days
Summer winter weather days
Our Shiny sleepy rainy days
And in and out the houses days
And all in all the days go by
And in the blinking of an eye
They\'re gone
