I COME AND GO
by: Witter Bynner (1881-1968)
- COME
and go
- And never stay.
- I pick and choose
- A night, a day,
- I find, I lose,
- I laugh along,
- I will not know
- Right things from wrong.
-
- I pity those
- Who pity me,
- I ask no boon,
- But being free . . .
- And so the moon,
- My polished stone,
- Shines and shows
- I lie alone.
"I Come and Go" is reprinted
