Love<br />
The famine came and married you,<br />
I’m so sorry I took so long.<br />
The vow that I would swear to you<br />
has turned into this mourning song.<br />
I finally bought that piece of land<br />
beside the stream and willow tree,<br />
where our two grave stones both shall stand<strong>–</strong><br />
your bridal bier my bed shall be.<br />
Gone away, gone away sweet,<br />
for like the darling buds of May<br />
which grow in Spring about your grave<br />
our love’s a thing that would not stay.<br />
Caution<br />
Nigel Clive Bruton<br />
Better walk slow<br />
Take heed where you pass<br />
Love’s going to find you<br />
Take you in its grasp<br />
Reel you in slow<br />
And spit you out fast<br />
All while you’re thinking<br />
This one will last.<br />
