complete version
And therefore I'll create a sweet elsewhere
The age of din and damage can't abuse -
The meadows of the mind suit this affair,
And I shall charm and change it as I choose:
The world is getting far too much to bear:
With politicians sure to lay us low,
And people almost cold enough to snow.
So now I'll melt mellifluously away
To where no grasping tyrant has control,
( I think I'll set the month sometime in May -
Which should assist serenity of soul),
Sly demons find a grip through men of grey -
And they succeed, so cunning is their role:
For are they not dividing and demeaning
We poor human things who miss their meaning?

sweet Elsewhere
I want somewhere to wander and to muse,And therefore I'll create a sweet elsewhere
The age of din and damage can't abuse -
The meadows of the mind suit this affair,
And I shall charm and change it as I choose:
The world is getting far too much to bear:
With politicians sure to lay us low,
And people almost cold enough to snow.
So now I'll melt mellifluously away
To where no grasping tyrant has control,
( I think I'll set the month sometime in May -
Which should assist serenity of soul),
Sly demons find a grip through men of grey -
And they succeed, so cunning is their role:
For are they not dividing and demeaning
We poor human things who miss their meaning?
