Silly Boy

Silly Boy,

O Silly Boy.

Why do you stack all you cards again?

You stand them awfully high to shuffle. 

Silly little Boy, 

O Silly Boy.

Why is your cornerstone in the corner

Away from your tiny house of bricks?

Silly, Silly Boy,

O Silly Boy.

Another floor you build on the sand. 

Do you forget the ends of the plans of men?

Such a Silly Boy,

O Silly Boy.

So tall now all your hopes do teeter.

Your foundation shakes when the storms arise. 

So Silly Boy,

O Silly Boy.

Latch tight again to compass and anchor.

Let not such winds avert your gaze. 

Stop Silly Boy,

O Silly Boy.

I am sorry that it all falls down.
