Land Now Lost,
or an allegory of humanity

by Blair Mitchelmore

Over the hills and across the seas

A place where seen by all who go

Beautiful fruit off of beautiful trees



Soaring mountains dwarf with ease

Men gasp in awe at the wonderful show

Over the hills and across the seas



A lute is strummed to my reprise

Letting the Sun warm in its glow

Beautiful fruit off of beautiful trees



Fruit plucked slowly and given a squeeze

Never not seen on this fair plateau

Over the hills and across the seas



Fur flowing softly off of the breeze

Never to taste and never to know

Beautiful fruit off of beautiful trees



Under a tree lay someone's lost keys

Overhead caws a murder of crows

Over the hills and across the seas

Beautiful Fruit off of beautiful trees?
