ANYONE

 anyone lived in a pretty how town
 (with up so floating many bells down)
 spring summer autumn winter
 he sang his didn't he danced his did.

 Women and men (both little and small)
 cared for anyone not at all
 they sowed their isn't they reaped their same
 sun moon stars rain

 children guessed (but only a few 
 and down they forgot as up they grew
 autumn winter spring summer)
 that noone loved him more by more

 when by now and tree by leaf
 she laughed his joy she cried his grief
 bird by snow and stir by still
 anyone's any was all to her

 someones married their everyones 
 laughed their cryings and did their dance
 (sleep wake hope and then)they
 said their nevers they slept their dream
 
 stars rain sun moon
 (and only the snow can begin to explain
 how children are apt to forget to remember
 with up so floating many bells down)
 
 one day anyone died i guess
 (and noone stooped to kiss his face)
 busy folk buried them side by side
 little by little and was by was
 
 all by all and deep by deep
 and more by more they dream their sleep
 noone and anyone earth by april
 with by spirit and if by yes.
 
 Women and men (both dong and ding)
 summer autumn winter spring
 reaped their sowing and went their came
 sun moon stars rain
