Like the Fool
I grabbed my knapsack
And skipped down the road,
Like a madman;
Something from the mind of Poe,
'Oh Byron, my Byron,'
I must have chided,
She walks in beauty like the night;
Not I, Not I,
The Solace is from my mind,
Adventures to be had
To escape this monotonous life,
Give me a twirl
In my Wooden Dutch shoes,
They watch me go
But try not to hold me back;
It shall serve them no good,
Mince Pie and Blackbird stew
I think of it
As I go down the road.

That was truly delicious and so charming! *clapping*  And!.. with an element of earthiness to it also. That old Pavarotti clip (from 1964) was a treat. His voice was excellent! And that song is about a man who disrespects a fickle woman... but I've always LOVED the bounce and tune, taking it also in the light of the story... romantic and sorta cute. - http://www.thoughtco.com/la-donna-e-mobile-lyrics-724330 - http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Pavarotti,_Luciano  I love the energy of the poem 'She walks in Beauty' ..
Matches energy present in your works, Whitewitch. Thought you might like this song rendition.. (music) She Walks In Beauty (Michael Danna, sung by Sissel, lyrical text Lord Byron, from soundtrack Vanity Fair) [1:59] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73w3wWYjcDk - http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43844/she-walks-in-beauty
