Nothing luminous everything drab,
The streets are wet without the cheer of rain
The window plants, too weary to complain,
Droop drearily; a last attempt to grab
Their interest, then fade. We need a girlie dear
Dark hair, blue eyes, to sing a song maybe
To give out kisses and kind words to me,
Or just to be around. She’s far, I fear,
Return to us tomorrow; come not late,
And free us from our melancholic state.
