I don’t want to disturb you but
Nor do I wish to lie
And say I’m happy watching grey welsh
Clouds crawl by
(You’re kneeling in the garden in
That blue robe over black
Smiling welcome – oh, I wish that
I were back)
The Welsh skies weeping water, grey
As melancholia’s clothes
Mourn such separation is
Where such love grows
(Terracotta pots and leaves of
Technicolor green
And eyes as blue as no eyes I
Have ever seen)
You’re out by day, by evening I
And many nights apart
No wonder eyes less blue than yours
Often smart
Yet still you smile and still I love
And when we’re home we kiss –
Oh love, so many, poorer far
Do not have this
