Though Crushed Like a Lilly and Broken
The sun shining down from the heavens
Never seemed fairer to you
Than love's golden dream at the offset
When first you held it in view.
It was just like a lilly in Eden,
As pure and as white and as fair,
Till crushed like a reed and then broken
By the one who had promised to care.
Never seemed fairer to you

As pure and as white and as fair,
Till crushed like a reed and then broken
By the one who had promised to care.
Oh father look down from the heavens,
When love like a poor turtle dove,
Is crushed the the stem of a lilly
By the hand of the one that you loved.
Look down and pity the poor broken heart
And grant it some strength from up there,
So that love's cruel sting ne'er will bitterness bring
To a soul that is just, pure and fair.

And grant it some strength from up there,
So that love's cruel sting ne'er will bitterness bring
To a soul that is just, pure and fair.
When the one who has promised to love you
Does trample a love that is true,
And turns you aside for another
When your heart it is broken in two.
Look up to heaven for guidance
He comfort and solace will give,
Though crushed like the lilly and broken
He will help you to bear it and live.

Works
[edit]Thoughts
[edit]Some random and debatable thoughts of mine[1], if you've got time to lose[2].
- Here, the ultimate goal of technological optimization is to proofread without reading. Most of the human input is unnecessary, and we can go much faster without it.[3].
- We have a problem with documentation. We have some help pages, sure, but nearly no one actively takes care of those[4], and there are many things that should be in there. The /doc subpages of templates are in most case good, but they're hard to find. We have a great lot of them, a nice help page that doesn't cover a lot of them and a category tree that is quite puzzling. Quite a lot of templates are in categories that make them hard to find[5]. I am neither the first[6], nor the second, and not the third either[7] to think we have a documentation issue. There have apparently been a number of attempts to fix this already, and they've more or less all dwindled to nothing.
- We should not choose works for notability or usefulness, as they are both very relative. I personally choose the works I do because why not[8].
Notes
[edit]- ↑ with an absurd quantity of footnotes for not really necessary information. I am usually more of a parentheses user, but refs clutter the text less, even though it's a bit awkward
- ↑ and you probably do, if you landed here
- ↑ it is a bit ridiculous that I am taking time that I could have spent proofreading to write on how precious time is
- ↑ and despite my complaining about it most of the time I don't either
- ↑ e.g. {{ppoem}} in Category:Experimental templates
- ↑ and that was in 2012
- ↑ even now
- ↑ and maybe an unreasonable liking of running gags
