To hang our head—ostensibly Lyrics
125
To hang our head—ostensibly
And subsequent, to find
That such was not the posture
Of our immortal mind
Affords the sly presumption
That in so dense a fuzz
You—too—take Cobweb attitudes
Upon a plane of Gauze!
To hang our head—ostensibly
And subsequent, to find
That such was not the posture
Of our immortal mind
Affords the sly presumption
That in so dense a fuzz
You—too—take Cobweb attitudes
Upon a plane of Gauze!
