Analysis of Wishing well

The shape inside could tell
From all the household prayers
The wishes were in the well

From hope the new dust fell
In layers upon layers
The shape inside could tell

Before sunrise he dwelled
The seasons hardly cared
The wishes were in the well

Although she wasn't well
A whispered form was spared
The shape inside could tell

The starlight cast a spell
The dreamers all had shared
The wishes in the well

The tears they knew too well
Thier emptinesses glared
The shape inside could tell
The wishes were in the well
