[anyone lived in a pretty how town] e.e. cummings

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 some sun moon stars rain

children guessed(but only a few and down they forgot as up they grew autumn winter spring summer) that no-one loved him more and 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 no-one 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 no-one and anyone earth by april wish by spirit and if by yes

women and men (both ding and dong) summer autumn winter spring reaped their sowing and went their came sun moon stars rain
