I know of a silver moon haired child Her love neatly filed But the book of life defiled In a chair she sat alone But not for a thing to atone The chair and her were almost one With nothing to do for fun Her breath softly loud and over her eyes a ghostly cloud I don't know whether I should pray Pray for her to see another lonely day I shouldn't pray for a morning A morning where golden strands stretch across the rolling lands And form warming hands To take her in, like a fallen baby bird So no longer would she have to have suffered Silver moon haired child I know till the very end you would have still smiled
