5.Promises Like Pie Crust
So will I not promise you;
Keep we both our liberties,
Never false and never true;
Let us hold the die uncast
Free to come as free to go;
For I cannot know your past,
You, so warm, may once have been warmer
Towards another one;
I, so cold, may once have seen sunlight,
Once have felt the sun;
Who shall show us if it was
Thus indeed in time of old？
Fades the image from the glass
If you promised, you might grieve
If you promised, you might grieve
For lost liberty again;
If I promised, I believe
I should fret to break the chain.
Let us be the friends we were,
Nothing more but nothing less;
Many thrive on frugal fare
Who would perish of excess.
