Say not it was by the ocean,
in the country or the town.
Say not if the sun was shining
or the rain was beating down.
Say not it was morning or evening,
or the high noonday or night.
Say not it was summer or winter,
or springtime, or autumn bright.
Say not what she was wearing.
Say not what colour her hair.
Say not how magical her smile.
Say only: She was there.
