Those bright blue eyes that laughed aloud
And caught this heart on love’s blind cloud
Those wrinkled cheeks and foolish grin
With dimpled dot in scoundrel chin,
Broad hunch of shoulders wrapped in tweed
And long brisk pace suggesting speed
Accompanied that boyish look
While caution from my senses took.
Sweet gentle man with hungry heart
How do you fare since we’re apart?
I knew I should not hold you long
I could not fit where you belong.
I close my eyes or gaze in space
Because I cannot fill your place
I miss you now and shall until
This heart of mine at last, is still.
