The Last Stanza
And I Smile
This is the warmth I need most
When the heart is cold utmost
I smile like the wings of a dragonfly
continuous, uninterrupted
I don't walk like the mad woman
In the street
Or beg for love
Like the street girl
I smile like the naked tree
And giggle like fallen leaves
I smile, smile, smile
