WILD GOATS, by                    
First Line: The moon is full but it won't spill over
Last Line: Hearts never do.
Subject(s): Bees; Girls; Hearts; Insects; Love; Beekeeping; Bugs


The moon is full but it won't spill over
And it won't fall out when it hangs askew.
The bees suck honey from tall red clover
But they won't get drunk of it.
Bees never do.

I gave my love to a girl with amber
Eyes like the windows the saints shine through.
She dragged it through the brambles where wild goats clamber
But my heart won't break of it.
Hearts never do.
