if we could find a way to lay the ghost
of all our horrid memories and fears
leave it behind in the forgotten years
it would be something of a noble boast
instead we find we still are at the post
responsible for the most ancient cares
and sunk so deeply in those old affairs
that all must know that we are truly toast
there's nothing here left to allay the greed
that drove so many of our culture mad
instead we work hard to build up desire
for all the things that no one has to need
since full possession never made one glad
and all of us must go into the fire
