EE CUMMINGS

may my heart always be open to littlebirds who are the secrets of livingwhatever they sing is better than to knowand if men should not hear them men are old
may my mind stroll about hungryand fearless and thirsty and suppleand even if it’s sunday may i be wrongfor whenever men are right they are not young
and may myself do nothing usefullyand love yourself so more than trulythere’s never been quite such a fool who could failpulling all the sky over him with one smile
