Analysis of Something Splendid
For here I am again my friend and if I may I just might stay
For there is something splendid in
the way I seem to feel today
Though if this storm that's in my mind
Should gather force to a gale wind
I'll leave my body for a time
To scale the concourse of consciousness
And only then for if I find what I have searched for all my life
I'll return back to the splendid
And it will be a courtship
