The Hawthorne’s Song
We never give up
Although we give in
We drink the above
And grow from within
We wave in the breeze
We watch you begin
And teach you to listen
For what weaves and spins
Before all the others bloom
I am the one
Feeling the spacious room
Here to become
And so it is with you, too
Sure as the sun
And cycles of the moon
Once you’ve begun
Everything turning
Yearning from roots below
Delicate clusters and faces
Of those we love
And those we do not yet know
You are a city girl
Now you’ve come home
And as your broken heart mends
You’re not alone
Welcome city girl
May you have ease
Sure as the spring turns
toward summer
In the Hawthorne trees

Frog and Eye
To a Peony
And daily you kept me company
Allowing me to see
I’ve come all the way from New York City
To fall in love with you
