Serth the red skies they give not a stick or a stone ,
that loves great harbour should build us a home .
Where magpies mock and steal ,
a ring through my window went ,
on the beek of a bird ,
all black and white ,
without lament .
That ring that I had on.my dresser would ,
Stick us together like concrete and glue.
It was a ring that without words that read ,
with all my heart I will worship you .
But now the bird has stolen it instead .
So will the skies O blessed thing ,
before I die ever return my ring ?
It gavest us pleasures like ,
walking together in the rain ,
but as red skies are above ,
and silver lightning strikes ,
tis my shutters I close to hide me away at night .
And if that magpie should ever return , to bar and bolt ,
It shall not take ,
the love in my heart ,
for it is with that that I wed ,
not symbols of gold or cotton or thread !
But with ever lasting sweetness and joy ,
the bird can’t take ,
or mend or do ,
or sow together me and you .
that which is in my heart I employ ,
to do such a task to stitch us together ,
untill our words do not rhyme.
O for silver then shall I wait untill dawn ?
For what did I see on my newly mowed lawn ?
A heart made of silver a locket with a picture of you ,
with a red sky sunrise ,
that’s forever thinking of you .
