As those angels gently laid you back Speaking sweetly as you went A rivulet o crimson Was the sign that you were spent I stood at your beds foot Too overwhelmed to cry A refusal to believe A rejection of this lie
A fast three months that felt like six A switchback through the gloamin And all the time We knew of course The reaper was a roamin Winding low Checking his form By the light of his terrible lamp Waiting to bring down His final ghastly stamp
So I'll think of you often And I'll send love with this On September the 19th About a quarter past six.
