LOVE, by                    
First Line: Surely, I thought, it must have wings
Last Line: And baked a cake and sang.
Subject(s): Singing & Singers; Songs


Surely, I thought, it must have wings
To soar above the homely things,
And lovely spirit seeking chance
To sway with April winds and dance.

And yet upon that day you came
I only swept the garden walk
And answered when the doorbell rang
And sat with you to talk.
And when you left, I thought your name
And thought it over and again
And baked a cake and sang.
