Oh Well!
So be it then,
Darkness will be my cover
As I lurk within the realm
Of my awaiting beauty
I’ll duck beneath her elm
I’ll climb each outstretched limb
So, just to get a view
As I seek out my lovely
Whose heart is there to woo
So be it then,
When she stares out of her window
In darkness, she won’t see
That face, looking back at her
The face of love, that’s me
I’ll descend from where I perched
Then knock upon her door
With hopes that she will answer
And love forever more
So be it then,
The door had then swung open
A burly voice did greet
The lady of the house, not there
Her husband I did meet
I must have been mistaken
I thought I knew her well
Of her recent marriage
Was something she did not tell
