For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her

What a dream I had

Pressed in organdy

Clothed in crinoline

Of smoky burgundy

Softer than the rain



I wandered empty streets

Down past the shop displays

I heard cathedral bells

Tripping down the alleyways

As I walked on



And when you ran to me

Your cheeks flushed with the night

We walked on frosted fields

Of juniper and lamplight

I held your hand



And when I awoke

And felt you warm and near

I kissed your honey hair

With my grateful tears

Oh I love you girl

Oh I love you
