A Cloak Of Elvenkind - Marcy Playground

A cloaking robe of elvenkind

Hangs in my wardrobe behind

All those things that mother

Said were proper for a boy

And I know I could not say why

On this summer evening

Sixteen books on magic spells

Stacked below the cloak of elves

And sixteen books on magic spells

So elegantly bound

And I know I could not say why

On this summer evening

And I know something… something about you

And I know something… something about you

A cloaking robe of elvenkind

Hangs in my wardrobe behind

All those things that mother said

Were proper for a boy
