Hey guys, was writing an assignment just before for university, got bored and scribbled down a poem. Was kind of proud of it so I thought i'd put it up for my ukulele family to see. Hope you enjoy.
The lady in black.
At the end of the corner
In the small hours of dawn
The lady is crying
And I stifle a yawn
Why cry little lady
I ask in reply
Is there a reason your leaking
Like rains in july?
The end it is coming
Says the lady in black
For she knew in her head
What society lacked
I pondered and stared
At her tear stricken face
And I summoned a question
For the whole human race
Is it courage my lady
Is it courage we lack?
But the lady kept crying
The lady in black
Is it humility and kindness
A welcoming soul?
She looked up from her misery
And my conscience felt whole
Your eyes they are open
Your eyes are awake
Your eyes they are honest
For they show the tree’s shake
They know what is coming
They know it is bare
But your heart is a-broken
And is laying to share
May your winters be warmer
And your candles burn low
For the life we are leading
There is not much to show
The lady she left me
No word of goodbye
And I cant help but wonder
As I sit down and cry
The lady in black.
