When She Comes


mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> When she comes again,

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">You can't let me know.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> 

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">I’ll be quiet  as a tap flowing

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Upon the mossy stone.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> 

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">How can you wake me up to tell

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Of love’s  ancient flowerings.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> 

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Who wants to hear of her beauty

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Any more?

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> 

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">If she comes

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">ask her to be quiet.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""> 

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">All over me

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">the petals are blown.
