1 The Noise

A noise from a tender place

Holding my heart carefully

In the carrier's grace.

A noise from a tender place

Holding me so watchfully

As heart beats race

A noise from a place

Holding me so bashfully

Pulling at the lace.

A noise from a place

Stilling me so lawfully

With principled haste

The nose from a wretched place

Stilling me so forcefully

With fear and disgrace

That nose from such chilling place

Stilling me so painfully

As a tremble in place
