The Eleven
No more time to tell how,
This is the season of what.
Now is the time of returning!
With all of our our thought jewels polished
And gleaming.
Now is the time past believing!
The child has left his reign!
Now is the test of the boomerang,
Tossed in the night of redeeming!
To whit:
Eight-sided whispering hallelujah hatrack
Seven-faced marble eye transitory dream doll
Six proud walkers on jingle-bell rainbow
Five men writing in fingers of gold!
Four men tracking the great white whale
Three girls wait in a foreign dominion
Ride in the whale's belly
Fade away in moonlight!
Sink beneath the waters
To the coral sands below!
