The Gardener LXXVI: The Fair Was On
The fair was on before the temple.
It had rained from the early morning
and the day came to its end.
Brighter than all the gladness of
the crowd was the bright smile of
a girl who bought for a farthing a
whistle of palm leaf.
The shrill joy of that whistle floated
above all laughter and noise.
An endless throng of people came
and jostled together. The road was
muddy, the river in flood, the field
under water in ceaseless rain.
Greater than all the troubles of
the crowd was a little boy's trouble--
he had not a farthing to buy a painted
stick.
His wistful eyes gazing at the shop
made this whole meeting of men so
pitiful.

That which we really require not is dear at a farthing.
Night volcano
Spouts autumn whispers
In a soft solfeggio—
A field of crazy crickets
Splits the cosmos without teeth

Who has patience may get fat thrushes at a farthing apiece.
Virtue knows to a farthing what it has lost by not having been vice.

A hundred years of regret pay not a farthing of debt.
He earns a farthing and has a penn'orth of thirst.
He who inherits a farthing, is expected to disburse a dollar.
He hath not a farthing left wherewith to buy a rope to hang himself.
I have never received a Farthing of Prize Money either for Artillery Ammunition or Vessels.

Stand By Me
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light well see.
No, I wont be afraid,
No, I wont be afraid,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
And, darling, darling, stand by me,
Oh, now, now, stand by me,
Stand by me,
Stand by me.
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall,
And the mountain should crumble to the sea.
I wont cry, I wont cry,
No, I wont shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.
And, darling, darling, stand by me,
Oh, stand by me,
Stand by me,
Stand by me,
Stand by me-ee, yeah.
Whenever youre in trouble, wont you stand by me?
Oh, now, now, stand by me,
Oh, stand by me,
Stand by me,
Stand by me.
Darling, darling, stand by me,
Please, stand by me,
Oh, stand by me,
Stand by me,
Stand by me.
Me-ee -
