But For a Moment
BUT FOR A MOMENT
O cast not a doubtful shadow,
but run a muck in unrelenting Love-
for in the morrow, yours is Heaven above.
A Foxy Lady from down the path
hast come to borrow sugar-
and spend a moments time with Thee.
You ask her kindly to come in,
stumbling backwards over a chairs-
for none's so blind as unrelenting Love.
Rum and Cola, fancy the mind to ease
whilst but a moments conversation-
has turned the hours past.
So soon the young ones came
to fold away the years-
through chattering and meandering.
It is true only yesterady
you ran a muck in unrelenting Love !
with a Foxy Lade from down the path
who has but come to borrow sugar !
