and if men should not hear them men are old

may my mind stroll about hungryand fearless and thirsty and suppleand even if it's sunday may i be wrongfor whenever men are right they are not young

and may myself do nothing usefullyand love yourself so more than trulythere's never been quite such a fool who could failpulling all the sky over him with one smile

in time of daffodils by E. E. Cummingsin time of daffodils(who knowthe goal of living is to grow)forgetting why,remember how

in time of lilacs who proclaim

the aim of waking is to dream,remember so(forgetting seem)

in time of roses(who amazeour now and here with paradise)forgetting if,remember yes

in time of all sweet things beyondwhatever mind may comprehend,remember seek(forgetting find)

and in a mystery to be(when time from time shall set us free)forgetting me,remember me

as freedom is a breakfastfood by E. E. Cummingsas freedom is a breakfastfoodor truth can live with right and wrongor molehills are from mountains made-long enough and just so longwill being pay the rent of seem

just so long and long enough

Now i lay(with everywhere around)... (44) by E. E. CummingsNow i lay(with everywhere around)me(the great dim deep soundof rain;and of always and of nowhere)andwhat a gently welcoming darkestness--

now i lay me down(in a most steepmore than music)feeling that sunlight is(life and day are)only loaned:whereas

night is given(night and death and the rain

are given;and given is how beautifully snow)

now i lay me down to dream of(nothingi or any somebody or youcan begin to begin to imagine)

something which nobody may keep.now i lay me down to dream of Spring
