The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
--Theodore Roethke

Songs with a Raisin Theme
Now how about song lyrics you or someone you know misheard and thought were the lyrics. For example, Brian as a small child thought it was "bad, bad Leroy Brown, baddest man in the whole downtown" and also thought he had a raisin in his shoe. I get so many lyrics wrong that it would take too long to list them. If you have some you changed to make them funnier, tell those. Janey wrote this on my board when we were teaching together: "We had joy. We had fun. We had raisins in the sun." Isn't she clever!
