Emily

Sweet little rhyme
Come help me one more time
And blow a warm breeze with your quill
A cold and chilly air
Is keeping the birches bare
And lingers the snow on my windowsill
With a candle light, dissolving like the gloom
I've been safe from the shadows
In the corners of my room

Poor Emily
All the night I read your poetry
Soothing lines my only company
If not for you, I wouldn't see
The break of dawn so hopefully

I've squandered my youth
In search for love and truth
I sacrificed all other things
My mind is confused and my soul misused
By all the grieves that winter brings
And my conviction once stark
Has moulded like the leaves
Disillusioned I stand in disbelief

I've been so
Poor Emily
So lonely
All the night I read your poetry
All the night
Soothing lines my only company
If not for you I wouldn't see
The break of dawn so hopefully

Like a farmer with his plow
My sacred seeds I sow
Will it take a lifetime for them to grow?
Although the frosty earth
Has freezed every birth
There is a slumbering sprout
Neath the shroud of snow
Will this scenery still remain the same
When my reflection has faded
From my windowpane?

And I've been so
Poor Emily
So lonely
All the night I read your poetry
All the night
Soothing lines my only company
If not for you I wouldn't see
The break of dawn so hopefully
If not for you I wouldn't see
The break of dawn so hopefully
