It is not natures beauty
I desire,
A perfect smile, an old oak tree's
Despair,
Nor rainy children, poverty's hand
Or my Love's red hair
Don't sing to me of
Billie's blues
Or, remind me of the Heroin
That stole her bloom,
It is not nature's beauty
I desire...
I need only my ability
To observe
And to sip, from adventure's
Fleeting, wine flagon
And to write of that
Which, nature
Reveals...
For, I am but
The soft complaining woodwind
Instrument,
Upon which, Nature's beauty
Blows...
And if precious music
In dying notes discovers,
That I am here
Then,
I am happy,
To have lived...
Tony Taylor (Chicago)
