Why Do The Crickets Sound
Why do the crickets joyfully sound
When conversation is finally found
Stifled by the struggling of silent nights
By these they are intimately bound
Yet, during a share of a simple thought
When conversation is finally found
Why, O why do the crickets sound!
Why do the crickets chirp and sing
Their many faults with them they bring
The musical melodies of stolid aspire
Yet, unceasingly playing at everything
When conversation is finally found
Why, O why do the crickets sound!
Why when the crickets finally sleep
My hopeful heart now solemnly weeps
For all of the stars that give the night
Of what you do not even wish to see
The inspiring beauty and noble light
---Of what you can rightfully be!
