SHADE A BIRD

SHADE A BIRD
WHEN HIDDEN IN FOG
SHADE A BIRD OF FOG

ROSE IN WHITE TRESS

1
SHADE A SUN
SHADE A RHYTHM
SHADE A SMILE
WITH ROSE IN WHITE TRESS
2
YOU MADE A WINDOW
OUT OF A STUDDED FRAME
A WINDOW OF ROSE
3
ROSALIND
O ROSALIND
LEANING ON A ROSE
WITH SHADE
ON YOUR HEAD.
4
A SHADE ON YOUR HEAD
WHERE IS HIDDEN
YOUR WHITE TRESS?

AT DAWN OF TRAVEL AND SPRING

THIS ROAD
NOBODY TRAVELING
SAVE TWILIGHT
