Why I wandered into the wood
I’ll never know
There, I cried all the tears I could
Till my eyes lost their glow
I like to think me safe
From all the hazards of life
Yet after every step I take
At the slightest nudge, I scurry to dive
The rains are nigh
And every creature seems gay
Yet, every time a bird flies by
I sigh in dismay!
Through the canopy of the woods, is the sun
And it is my favourite time of year
Yet, every which way I turn,
I stiffen and give in to fear
There is every reason for me to be happy
Everything around me looks blissful, today
But, why I wandered into this mood, sadly
Is one thing I can’t say
