Field of Gaffy
I will sleep now and day-walk among the stars, The only two giant lights at two arms apart, One dwell within here and the other at mars, This is the field of Gaffy where heaven attracts, Within its wildness lies the gorse and rose alike; Where its fragrance makes the frail becomes golden at heart; Two thousand years will I walk this field astride, And dwell within its plain and mystical path, I will traverse here a day before forever, From its aperture will I watch the sun rise, On this field no anguish, shame, whatsoever; At its gate shall we make the final byes; I will sleep now and make symphony with the wind, Amidst the softness of the grass and trees, While the birds, the beasts and the cricket sings, On this field I am eternally free.
