WALLS, by VIRGINIA WOODS MACKALL
First Line: Down the highway and over the wall
Last Line: And don't know the reason.
Subject(s): Walls
First Line: Down the highway and over the wall
Last Line: And don't know the reason.
Subject(s): Walls
Down the highway and over the wall
I climbed for the fun of it.
There lay a garden, secrets and all --
I had the run of it.
I saw a pond and lilies asleep,
Some roses, with bees on!
But I stole away with just one peep
And don't know the reason.
