Remembering Marie A.
Ton : CEnglish
Couplet
It was a Cday in that blue month CSeptember
Silent Fbeneath the plum trees' slender Cshade
I held her Amthere
My love so pale and Dmsilent
As if she Gwere a dream that must not Cfade
Couplet
Above us Fin the summer shining Cheaven
There was a Amcloud my eyes dwelled long Dmupon
It was quite Gwhite and very high Dmabove us
Then I looked Gup
And found that it had Cgone
Couplet
And since that Cday so many moons in Csilence
Have Fswum across the sky and gone Cbelow
The plum trees Amsurely have been chopped for Dmfirewood
And if you Gask how does that love seem Cnow
Couplet
I must Fadmit I really can't Cremember
Though I Amknow what you are trying to Dmsay
But what that Gface was like I know no Dmlonger
I only Gknow I kissed it on that Cday
Couplet
As for the Ckiss I long ago Cforgot it
But for the Fcloud that floated in the Csky
I know that Amstill and shall forever Dmknow it
It was quite Gwhite and moved in very Chigh
Couplet
It may be Fthat the plum trees still are Cblooming
That woman's Amseventh child may now be Dmthere
And yet that Gcloud had only bloomed for Dmmoments
When I Glooked up
It vanished on the Cair.
