crick crack

    we leave the older forms of joy behind
    and do not understand just what they mean
    there are too many things to keep in mind

    we are to no good purpose now inclined
    and will not play at cricket on the green
    we leave the older forms of joy behind

    with shallow customs we have been aligned
    and count each benediction as obscene
    there are too many things to keep in mind

    you've let the thread of wisdom here unwind
    and not one of your followers is keen
    we leave the older forms of joy behind

    you might have had full vigour unrefined
    but that is in the realm of the unseen
    there are too many things to keep in mind

    from every corner we hear the unkind
    voices demanding we depart the scene
    we leave the older forms of joy behind
    there are too many things to keep in mind
