A Nonsensical Sonnet
Running in the sun and hiding away
We are two immortals, in human bonds
Don’t know where I’ll be at the break of day
I’ll finish this work at the gates of dawn
But now we are both blind, it must be said
You’re lovely and you really must know it
Come let me rest my fingers on your head
I know this well, but still fear to show it
And hence I come to the end of my song
I don’t know why I tried this endeavor
Well, the lines at least will end before long
This blasted thing will haunt me forever
And here we stand, gazing softly at the moon
I hope now you’ll sing to a different tune
We are two immortals, in human bonds
Don’t know where I’ll be at the break of day
I’ll finish this work at the gates of dawn
But now we are both blind, it must be said
You’re lovely and you really must know it
Come let me rest my fingers on your head
I know this well, but still fear to show it
And hence I come to the end of my song
I don’t know why I tried this endeavor
Well, the lines at least will end before long
This blasted thing will haunt me forever
And here we stand, gazing softly at the moon
I hope now you’ll sing to a different tune
