Analysis of As Great As Willing
In my memory not a bit so vacant,
In my longings, not a pot so dormant,
In my dreams not anything so sleeping,
In my thoughts, oh nothing so killing,
As a bulk, all wonders so running,
Know not a thing to salve all cunning,
Have no meaning, I steer so funny,
All and all, well happy, smile and smile so smoothly.
My days all go, all crazy,
No one waits so lazy.
Calling from my soul, I waive it waiting,
Then and there I grow as great as willing.
