The World in a Handcart

 

The World in a Handcart

  1. Nobody guesses the trouble I've seen,
    These old eyes go roving,
    To landmarks we've been,
    Myself and my master,
    The pedlar of Treen,
    The world in a handcart
    whirls by like a dream.

    Nobody knows the trouble I've seen,
    The sheep go a-roaming
    The grass is not green,
    but brown with the pounding
    of clockwork feet, e'en
    the trouble they're causing
    goes past like a dream.

    Nobody knows the trouble they've been,
    the sheep keep a-coming
    the humans not seen
    tho dreams fade in passing
    an old rabbit's seen
    this world in a handcart,
    all huddled and mean
    if better time's coming,
    remains to be seen.
