~ON THE STAIRS~

Meet me quickly, darling, dear

for I have words you need to hear

Do not let the others see

you hurry so to meet with me.......

Draw your cloak close to your heart

for it is chill outdoors

and I would simply speak to you

I am leaving for the wars.....

Soon I will ask him for your hand

and we will then be wed

but until then my darling, dear,

It's the turret stairs, instead.
