Hanging there from yonder tree

While I waited to sight-see

The glorious future of meeee

I’d think of my mother’s potpourri.

A glass bowl of potpourri

Filled with small wooden keys

Each one of mice and men and me,

Bar our sadness from sounding sea,

 A sight of sights to ev’r sight-see

Atop our ever-growing tree

For my ever-growing tree,

Weaved with leaves of potpourri,

Is the place to light sight-see;

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">To find the lock or find the key

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">To all the lands in all the sea

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">Including she, including he, including me.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">And that really is the key

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">What it means to go sight-see

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">Is, between you and me,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">Weaved with leaves of potpourri

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">As dark and as strong as the sounding sea

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">The sounding sea, the sounding sea,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">Is every man’s dream to sight-see.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">not even me, not even me

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt;">innocence and ignorance could only be the key

====<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.5;">There are many wild leaves <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.5;"> other than me ====
