THE WORLD IS BLUE

Beneath the azure sky

The melancholy world

Heaves a wistful sigh

To see a dream unfurled

Fed up with all man's ways

Of wickedness and waste

She longs for virgin days

A time when she was chaste

In reverie she pines

For grasses and for trees

All tangled up in vines

And flowers full of bees

But all that comes to view

Are asphalt sights obscene

Alas, the world is blue

But wishing she were green
