We are the music makers
We are the dreamers of dreams
Wandering by lone sea-breakers
Sitting by desolate streams
World-losers and world-forsakers
On whom the pale moon gleams
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems

blue, you'll always be true
yellow, ashamed of the fellow
pink, your spirits'll sink

Sweets for a hundred flowery Springs
To load the May-wind's restless wings,
When, from the orchard-row, he pours
Its fragrance through our open doors;
A world of blossoms for the bee..."
