Underneath the pain
In a Country by your side
Underneath the suffering
That so many sleep to hide
Underneath the tremors
There’s no Mother for a child
Underneath the rubble
Is what’s left of broken smiles
Underneath the bridge
Is a man without a home
Underneath the moonlight
There’s a child who cries alone
Underneath the remnants
Children played without a fear
Underneath the blanket
An infant clings to life [...]

Mokeeta, Mokeeta; the soft winds are calling;
Oh where are you sleeping? Oh where can you be?
I miss you MOKEETA, when twilight is falling-
Oh why then so SILENT? Oh why then so far?
I miss you MOKEETA, Oh where can you be?
Far in the twilight your brown hair is gleaming-
I see your bright eyes in a faraway [...]

When I was young, there was a song-”when I leave The World Behind”-
I’ll leave the sunshine, for the summer-
I’ll leave the tree tops, for the breeze,
I’ll leave the moon above, for those in love-
When I leave the world, behind!
I’ll leave the moonlight, for the dreamers,
I’ll leave the great ships for the seas-
And for the “Old [...]

Then the little dog looked up at me-
And his eyes were soft and dim….
“And did he remember Annabel Lee?
“And did she remember him?”
There is no song so dear to me-
Till lifes last tale is told-
and over her tomb, the silver moon
Turns all her beams, to gold!
Was there a valley of singing trees?
And a kingdom by [...]

Someday, you will read Edgar Allan Poe’s, “Annable Lee” as I did long ago.
For many and many a year ago-
In a kingdom, by the sea……
A lonely poet wrote a song,
And called it “Annabel Lee”…….
They call him “The-Haunted-Poet” now….
“And the stars were as bright as her eyes!”
And the valley they left, on that faroff day….
STILL….UNDER….THE….MOONLIGHT….LIES!
THERE IS [...]

MY HEART……is not in the City;
With its crowds moveing where no one knows-
It is out in the hills of the PRAIRIE:
With their strong SWEEPING WINDS-
And their SNOWS!
Its out where the stacks of the harvest
Once stood in the trail of the “Boo”-
Who came humming along with his PITCHFORK;
And….stayed till the NORTHERLEES BLOW!
Its out where the SUNSETS [...]

He put his arms around her-
It made the poor girl sick;
Was is true? what her Pa said?
That “he was a-damn-poor-stick?”
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND HER;
She was far away from HOME-
She told him “I NEARLY FROZE TO DEATH!”
In……my little bed… alone.
He put his arms around her-
But that was away last week;
An his new car was ready [...]

I met her down beside a moonlit river;
We built a Home of Dreams, and happy days;
We did not say GOODBYE, and leave forever,
Our LOVE SONG still is there, in the Autumn Leaves!
When summers gold hangs on the tree-
She comes back through the moonlight, to me;
And far on the tide, long that old riverside,
GLEAMS THE BRIDGE [...]

“It was many and many a year ago…..
In a Kingdom By The Sea!”
These words bring back the long ago-
And the days of “Annabel Lee”!
Then the little dog looks up at me-
And his eyes are soft and dim-
“And did He remember “Annabel Lee?”
“And did she remember him?”
There is no song so dear to me-
Till lifes last [...]

While he pondered, NEARLY NAPPING,
SUDDENLY he heard a tapping-
Like a “B” girl lightly rapping-
Rapping on his chamber door-
While the moonlight climbed the curtain-
‘Tis the wind…. and nothing more!
Long into that darkness peering-
Ohh what was it he was fearing?
While he dreamed the dreams, no Mortal
Ever DARED to dream before!
So it was to still the beating
Of his [...]
