I Love to Write
Ay... In the temple's valley Dare we climb ?
We gully kids we had our time
But the rocks and weeds
we scraped our knees
then made scars so deep
They will never fade
It's been ten years since our last try
Remember that time we got that high
And Though it seems
the years have past us by
Tonight I say
we give it another try
Over barns and brooks
our voices shall cry
tonight tonight we will not die
Let's walk again down temple street
where the kateedids and night crawlers meet
and the potatoe bugs
with their thousand tiny feet
Over rocks and lakes
let's cast Our youth !
And drink again
from life's temperate well
And forget that actions
determine heaven or hell
Up through the purple mountains let's climb
let's play again
in dawns golden time
And from the temple's height
we shall look down on dusk's dieing light
and not be afraid
to go gently into the grave night.
