At times I’d go
    And leave these years behind
But I am here
    To educate my mind.

And now I think
    I’m glad I have this chance
To learn to live
    The life my thoughts romance.

It’s not to be for
    Money, rule, or name
This is not it
    For the poets life I came.

A cottage small
    And for a humble mind
In some fresh land
    Is all I seek to find.
