The Crow, The Owl And The Dove

Don't give me love
Don't give me faith
Wisdom nor pride
Give innocence instead
Don't give me love
I've had my share
Beauty nor rest
Give me truth instead
A crow flew to me
Kept its distance
Such a proud creation
I saw its soul, envied its pride
But needed nothing it had
An owl came to me
Old and wise
Pierced right through my youth
I learned its ways, envied its sense
But needed nothing it had
Don't give me love
Don't give me faith
Wisdom nor pride
Give innocence instead
Don't give me love
I've had my share
Beauty nor rest
Give me truth instead
A dove came to me
Had no fear
It rested on my arm
I touched its calm, envied its love
But needed nothing it had
A swan of white she came to me
The lake mirrored her beauty sweet
I kissed her neck, adored her grace
But needed nothing she could give
Got to grieve her
Got to wreck it
