Follow the line the same
way down and
pale in the sky
Leave in disgrace with
fortune in
her face & eye
You cannot know
under the
brow of the hill
What she will say or do
inclining to let
ages go by.
Light in the forearm it
lies in the
crook you can feel
it like quick
silver where is she now?
I had a key upon a ring
it was a pretty
thing I held it in my hand
lest the heart grow
fond & as I watch'd it climb
about my wrist in
time it reach'd my heart & stopp'd
dead in the vein
Go home said the
stranger to the
boy's mother he's too
weak & she
cried bitterly & led
him to the door.
There was a maid her
name was Jim
they always took her
name for him.
