"The little corner" [boomerang]

I'd sought the little corner of the poem
    the day as yet were young   what did I know?
'ere long   I'd wandered far away from home
    so many people passing to & fro!
were you among them?   or was I alone?
    I couldn't grasp the meaning of the show
    & now the western sun were dipping low
I'd sought the little corner of the poem
