MY DEAR DARLING

By Nithya Priya, Grade IX, HRS, TTL

MY DEAR DARLING,GO AWAY
FAIRER FAR THAN YOUR LAST DAY

IT MAY PUT YOU IN SORROW
THAT COMES TO BID A BITTER TOMORROW

TO THE ROUGH YEAR JUST AWAKE
IN YOUR CRADLE ON THE BRAKE

GO AWAY FAR FROM MEN AND TOWNS
MAY BE TO THE WILD WOODS AND DOWNS

MAKING THE WINTRY WORLD APPEAR
LIKE ONE OF MY SMILEST DEAR

GO TO THE SILENT WILDERNESS
FOR YOU NEED TO REPRESS

I MAY COME TOMORROW
AND SIT BY FIRESIDE WITH SORROW

TO SEE YOUR DEAD BODY
AND YOU'LL BECOME A RECIPIENT FOR EVERYBODY

I'LL REMEMBER YOU:
WHEN YOU HAD THOSE WALKS ACROSSTHE LEAVES
WHERE THE WEAVER WEAVES

I WANTED YOU TO BE :
A DAISY STAR THAT NEVER S
AND DON'T WANT TO BE A SANDHILL ON THE SEA
SO WEAK AND FRAGILE

SO MY DEAR DARLING GO AWAY
FAIRER FAR THAN YOUR LAST DAY.
