Seeing nothing that's there but the bones of the bed,
Eyeing thoughts that would stare in your eye.

And the raining that flows is the pure-salty drain
On the peace which I hold in my mind.

But the peace of mine is peace of mind, and eye a gift to all.
But the things I see, I see with mind, and don't observe with eyes.
Erudite eyes always bore me to cry,
And the raining that flows is the pure-salty drain
On the peace which I hold in my mind.
But the peace of mine ...
