And This You Call Work

Iris Dement
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
And this you call work is carefree existence--
2
Catching ere it's flown
3
What music has privately hinted,
4
And jestingly call it my own.
5
And using another's blithe scherzo
6
For lines far too languid to run
7
To swear your poor heart is lamenting
8
In fields that smile back at the sun.
9
And later, when pinewoods play trappist
10
Doing what bold eavesdroppers dare
11
While the fog's impalpable curtain
12
Hangs vaguely, as smoke on the air.
13
Not feeling one qualm of conscience
14
I take things from left and right
15
Life is sly, but I take something from it
16
And all from the stillness of night.
