Abide Forgive me Forgive me Forgive me if I forget With the birdsong and the day's last glow Folding into the hands of the trees, Forgive me if I forget with the birdsong And the days last glow Folding folding ...folding into the hands of the trees Abide Forgive me the few Syllables of the autumn crickets, The year's last firefly winking Like a penny in the shoulder's weeds, Forgive me... if I forget the hour, if I forget The day as the evening star Pours out its whiskey over the gravel And asphalt I've walked For years alone, Forgive me if I startle When you put your hand in mpine, If I wonder how long your light Has taken to reach me here.
