First Line: When I have nothing else to do
Last Line: As lion or as deer.
Subject(s): Leisure
WHEN I have nothing else to do,
When I am free, the hour kind,
I like to lift reflections from
The pool of my mind.
I'm thirsty, and I like to drink
A wisdom cool and clear;
Standing precautionary, shy,
As lion or as deer.
