Do You Remember
Do you remember a school, Verletta
Do you wander there again
To hear the hymns of Dunstan River
And sink the ships of rain
Do you remember a boy, Verletta
Do you think of him again
Riding by your gate with his letter
You never read to know his pain
Do you remember an evening, Verletta
Do you recall the past so vain
I towed you on my bicycle, and forever
Wore your name to the school's disdain
And do your remember ever the lilacs
Blooming golden still, bees humming
Round your cottage like arawaks
And you, my love, so stunning, stunning?
