The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

How long will I have to stand still?
The earth's a-turning round and round;
I'm still stranded to nowhere-bound.

How long do I have to hope for the best
