The words once so fondly your own
let loose, remain no more yours alone
out of the cozy shaft
they tremble a moment aside,
gather pace after aft'
and travel far and wide
Many a shore they seek to reach
at the journey's end, loved by some
far more minds they beseech
Many a heart they merrily rip apart
but with what innocence at the start
Bereft of all the powers once borne
you look on , so woebegone
If only you could shackle them
these wanton words, one and all
never to lose sights again
forever your own to rein
and always at your beck and call
