"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my lids and all is born again. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars

   go waltzing        

out in blue and red,

And arbitrary blackness gallops in:

I shut my eyes and all the

world

drops dead.

I dreamed

   that you

      bewitched

    me into bed

And sung

me

moon-struck

kissed me quite insane. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

    God

      topples

            from

      the

   sky,

hell's fires fade:

Exit
   seraphim
and
   Satan's
men: I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied
    you'd return
the way
   you said,

But I grow old and I forget your name. (I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead; At least when spring comes they roar back again.

I shut my eyes and all the

world

drops dead.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)"
