Description
Forget the salty boardwalk.
I love the rolling sky.
Studded with stars, sparkling,
'Twill always get me by.
In the middle of the field,
Half nine, we ran away.
The blinding heat
And aching feet
Wore us down that day.
The night brought us mercy,
And a chance to talk alone.
A firebrand lit the sky
In oranges and reds, shone.
We laughed of something stupid,
A longer running joke.
You caught my eye
In rows of rye
Beside the broken oxen yoke.
Darling Sarah, you told me,
Oldest of your family,
Your golden hair
And separating stare
My heart has stolen, verily.
I want you for my own.
Be my faithful wife.
If we will
My father's mill
Will feed us, all our life.
I looked down at my hands,
Before speaking anymore.
Charlie, dear,
Let me be clear.
My wifery skills are poor.
I know nothing of cooking;
Yesterday, I burned the bread.
All I could do
Is see you through
Keep you warm in a small bed.
You nodded, and smiled.
What more could I need?
Our love was born
In hidden rows of corn
Our desire you'd feed.
The colder night has passed.
I still love m'Charlie dear.
His gentle touch
Chuckle overmuch
Still fill my heart with cheer.
