Saint Stephen with a rose
In and out of
the garden he goes
Country garden
in the wind and the rain
Wherever he goes
the people all complain
Stephen prospered in his time
Well he may and
he may decline
Did it matter, does it now
Stephen would answer
if he only knew how
Wishing well with
a golden bell
Bucket hanging clear to hell
Hell halfway twixt
now and then
Stephen fill it up and
lower down and
lower down again
Lady finger
dipped in moonlight
Writing "what for?"
across the morning sky
Sunlight splatters
dawn with answer
Darkness shrugs and
bids the day goodbye
Speeding arrow
sharp and narrow
What a lot of fleeting
matters you have spurned
Several seasons
with their treasons
Wrap the babe in
scarlet colors
call it your own
Did he doubt or did he try
Answers aplenty
in the by and by
Talk about your plenty
talk about your ills
One man gathers what
another man spills
Saint Stephen will remain
all he's lost he shall regain
Seashore washed
by the suds and foam
Been here so long
he's got to calling it home
Fortune comes a crawlin'
calliope woman
Spinnin' that curious
sense of your own
Can you answer
Yes I can
But what would be th
answer to the answer man
