There is a Beautiful Creature
Living in a hole you have dug
So at night
I set fruit and grains
And little pots of wine and milk
Besides your soft earthen mounds,
And I often sing,
but still, my dear,
You do not come out.
I have fallen in love with Someone
Who hides inside of you.
We should talk about this problem--
Otherwise,
I will never leave you alone.
