Could I but ride indefinite
As doth the Meadow Bee
And visit only where I liked
And no one visit me
And flirt all day with buttercups
And marry whom I may
And dwell a little everywhere
Or better, run away
With no Police to follow
Or chase Him if He do
Till he should jump Peninsulas
To get away from me-
I said "But just to be a Bee"
Upon a Raft of Air
And row in Nowhere all Day long
And anchor "off the Bar"
What Liberty! So Captives deem
Who tight in Dungeons are.
Ello'!
