I WONDER HOW THEY CAN.

I WONDER HOW THEY CAN.  
A girl that does not know the trip she has in life  
for me is like a bud forced to a world of frost.  
I look at her and think of what her road will hide,  
which makes my heart go soft and rue the heartless world.  

I yearn to catch her hand and hide her from soft rain.  
It's head can't keep straight up under the weight of dew.  
I seek a way to hide her where it's safe and warm.  
I cry when l see her with thornless stem she stands.  
 
How can cruel egoists pluck her for just a smell  
and throw her in the mud to face that fate alone?  
Am l a stupid man or are they made like beasts  
whose hunger has the word to kill the frailest lamb?
