Well now you know\n\nThat here upon this laiden path\n\nLies the Billy Goat Grotto\"\n\n  \n\nThe walls are lined with cashmere,\n\nTin cans scatter the floor\n\nI ask if he might stay here\n\nAnd be my bride forevermore\n\n  \n\nBut empty caverns, which empty hearts\n\nDo fill for a time,\n\nAre not the place for candid love\n\nNor seekers of his kind\n\n  \n\nHe stands and gives a carefree glance\n\nBeckoning with his smile\n\nThat I may leave this hollow place\n\nAnd wander for a while\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poems","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1042494-the-star-chaser.json"}}
