For Joni Mitchell
Full of health and strong of lung
Each word like crystal goblets rung
Heard that song that way
Fifty-plus years have come and gone
And on this rainy July morn
An ageing voice sings that same song
In a different way
You’ve sung that song from all sides now
When young and fresh to almost four score
But would you write it differently
Given all that you have seen?
