Listless grass that swings so fine

An endless dance of sublime, unrefined

A tall wood bears down

Purvey and survey

Its presence inspires a moral decay

An intuitive glance, a composite stare

The listless grass only now will declare

Its unwitting proposal

To submit to defeat

The unfortunate timing

Disposed to retreat

No chance for absolving

No chance for the weak

As the tall wood bears down

From an indefinite peak
