Didn't You Ever Search For Another Star?

I. did you say August ponds ought to have been surrounded by September fences? but did you say September fences ought to have been climbed over by October peoples? what did you say for October padlocks that ought never to have been attached moreover to November handcuffs? II. You'll remember us for our dark Hungarian laughter That tickled when it laughed, that dug at the limelight Why, I'll send you a dark silver Hungarian coin From the mines that never saw the light of day yet Why, I'll send you a dime's worth of Hungarian damage That has been done to a cave that is full of Rhapsody Why, I'll send you a silver key to the cave of despair I'll send you a violet tonight, I'll send you a silver sword I'll send you a silver hammer that'll hammer night and day I'll send you a pail-ful of our kinds of blue revolutionary stars. III. Who are you? Weren't you their prisoner in the sedge dark? Where has been your search for freedom? Will you count the trees again in these dense woods Wherever you have been tonight? Will you look backwards where you have been? And tell me whoever you are. What have been your escapes? Nevertheless freedom is as ever an intense girl angel That speaks to me one in the inane wilderness Where has been your phantasmagoria? Are the dark trees at war with the darklike trees? Where has been your light Where has been your swordy well, Where has been your darklike table? Did you ever search for another star?
