Psimon Posted May 30, 2003 Report Posted May 30, 2003 My love returned ********************** The leaves were gold, the sky was gray, as I looked out upon the bay. As I looked out I chanced to see a ship. My love returned to me. A ship! My love is coming home. At sea my love no more will roam. At sea, my love did prove his worth to other men. He earned his berth. To other men he gave his share of sweat and blood in honest care. Of sweat and blood he need not give. To me alone his heart doth live. To me alone he gave his troth and not to sea, white cap and froth. And not to sea would he return No, nor to me as I would learn. No, nor to me would love rejoin. My love, the waves did then purloin. My love! The waves of which you spake did not seem fit your life to take! Did not seem fit to hold your heart. Bonnet in hand, my eyes downcast. Bonnet in hand and wrung with grief I looked once more beyond the reef. I looked once more to say goodbye then turned for home, began to cry. Then turned for home as others did. My love returned, farewell I'm bid. My love returned this autumn day as I looked out upon the bay.
