For Ver

Somewhere in the hills o'er yonder My heart beats louder than the thunder And day and night it roams and wonder Why did we begin to fall assunder. Sometimes when the moon is bright. I Press her to my lips in prayer For we must dance again before we die While moon drenched nights can hunger. I was committed here, and you still there We could not tear the wind from the tree. But sometimes come now and idle tear And sometimes grow a stalk of memory. Somewhere in the hills o'er yonder My heart beats louder than the thunder Do you remember me, Veronica, do remember I was dry banana leaf in your ember.
