Oops.
A pile of leaves appeared before my eyes
I leapt, and there I found a pricker bush
Fell into pain, not even being pushed
As I mistook which scene was in my sight
The ghost of loveliness did seem so real
Mirage it was, so please explain to me
How could I mistake--this mystery
Expecting steak, I ate a putrid meal
Daydreaming always got me through before
But dreams to nightmares now have turned on me
An angel's flight, or demon in a tree
My mind can differentiate no more
Ennui, my dearest friend whom I have shunned
Come back to me! Oh lord, what have I done?
