I wrote your name within my heart Most carefully— I never could remember names or faces; And then, one day, I lost my heart along the shining places.

I must have let it fall, Plucking a flower I did not want And listening to a bird I did not see: Now would I call— And you would answer me.

Do hearts have wings? I am so careless about losing things.
