Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe

Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, ”Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.

Change like this to a deeper roar?
What would it take my standing there for,
Holding open a restive door,..." -Robert Frost "Bereft"

And where care lodges, sleep will never lie;..."
Romeo & Juliet - William Shakespeare
