Idless woods are near to me

Idless woods are dear to me

One may wander from a life perturbed

And lay down not to be disturbed

Entranced in the magic of this place

Dissolving our folly in its kind embrace

 

But you only enter when you close your eyes

And let the leafy canopy wave away the skies

And slip from drowsy reverie

To melt in blissful sanctuary…

Do I still hear the distant stream

Faintly wandering through my dream?

Or the lowing herd,

A bleating sheep

As Idless draws me to her sleep
