I went today, for a walk in the park.
I went before it would get very dark.
I walk that park in a circle around,
Stepping on grass with steady soft sound.

I went today for a walk in the park.
I always go well before it gets dark.
The way that I walk is not very fast.
I never come first, or ever am last.

I went today for a walk in the park.
I often am there, just before dark.
Slow I walk, but just when I start,
So hard at first, but only this part.

I went today for a walk in the park
I hope the light stays and never gets dark.
The sun behind trees, is ever so low,
That light is so fleeting, eager to go.

I went today for a walk in the park
I know before end, it will start to get dark.
The cold across creeping, ever so sure,
Walk the laps faster, finish some more.

I went today for a walk in the park.
I feel the cold coming, creeping and dark.
There the sun shines, in a small little patch,
Where I go slow, warm thin rays I will catch.

I went today for a walk in the park.
I know now that it is very near dark.
But lap after lap, its nearing the end,
Near is the time, when homeward will wend.

I went today for a walk in the park.
I can see at the end, it turned very dark.
Oval round pretty, when sunlit with light,
Now tis’ gone and comes the cool night.

I went today for a walk in the park.
I went, as ever, before it was dark.
So happy to have a stroll in the light.
Even if timing was ever, ever so tight.
