SONG, by ELEANOR ALEXANDER
First Line: He climbs his lady's tower, where sail
Last Line: Sings--sir, too late, too late!
Subject(s): Love
First Line: He climbs his lady's tower, where sail
Last Line: Sings--sir, too late, too late!
Subject(s): Love
He climbs his lady's tower, where sail
Cold clouds about the moon,
And at his feet the nightingale
Sings--Sir, too soon, too soon !
He steals across his lady's park,
He tries her secret gate,
And overhead the saucy lark
Sings--Sir, too late, too late!
