  • Don’t You Feel Small

    Song Lyrics on Allspirit

    The Moody Blues

    Written by Graeme Edge

    Ask the mirror on the wall
    Who’s the biggest fool of all,
    Bet you feel small,
    It happens to us all.

    See the world
    Ask what’s it for
    Understanding, nothing more,
    Don’t you feel small,
    It happens to us all.

    Time is now
    To spread your voice
    Time’s to come,
    there’ll be no choice,
    Why d’you feel small?
    It happens to us all.

    Look at progress,
    Then count the cost,
    We’ll spoil the seas
    With the rivers we’ve lost.
    See the writing on the wall,
    Hear the mirror’s warning call.
    That’s why you feel small,
    It happens to us all
    Ask the mirror on the wall
    Who’s the biggest fool of all,
    Bet you feel small,
    It happens to us all.

  • A Daughter of Eve

    By Christina Rossetti

    A fool I was to sleep at noon,
    And wake when night is chilly
    Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
    A fool to pluck my rose too soon,
    A fool to snap my lily.
    My garden-plot I have not kept;
    Faded and all-forsaken,
    I weep as I have never wept:
    Oh it was summer when I slept,
    It’s winter now I waken.
    Talk what you please of future spring
    And sun-warm’d sweet to-morrow:–
    Stripp’d bare of hope and everything,
    No more to laugh, no more to sing,
    I sit alone with sorrow.
