Abbey Lincoln nature boy

There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They said he wandered, very far, very far
Over lands and sea
A little shy and sad of eyes
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day
He passed my way
And we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
And this said to me
‽The greatest thing
You ever learn
It's just to love
And be loved in return”
