Phillips Anthony Sides Bleak House Say no word She watched as she waited By the iron gate Veiled in black brocade Tom was all-alone, She spoke soft but breathless, He took the half-a-crown And thought how strange Long ago, she knew a man Who sailed the seas And gave her a daughter Through the vanished years Fate bestowed a lady's seat She honoured it with grace Hid the part and with it me Now, she is everything to me Though I was denied her tenderness Years spent in gloom I cried in my room I believed I'd been quite deserted But now that I find, she gave everything to me Until it became quite impossible Scorn upon scandal Helpless to handle, She's bitterly breaking now Why is my dream disturbed? Cold cut the wind We pitched as we tossed From cobblestone to track Along the old canal Fierce came the frost The stone changed to pasture Could anyone survive? Has anybody seen? Long ago a fox found out, The laid the captain dead at his masthead Searching everywhere, questioning the wind and trees I beat the empty air, knowing it has seen her face Now, I'd give everything to know Why my flesh and blood must suffer so Turning and tossing From river to crossing Causing great confusion If she only knew, she was everything to me, Alone now, somewhere, she's imploring me Oh, please forgive me I've been so thoughtless She's bitterly breaking now For, she is everything to me Though I was denied her tenderness Years spent in gloom I cried in my room I believed I'd been quite deserted But now that I find, she gave everything to me Until it became quite impossible Scorn upon scandal Helpless to handle, I pray that we're not to late.... Bleak rose the towers The rain lashed the horses We found the gate ajar Her cloak lay in a heap The captain's furled his sails It comes as no surprise She's no longer here |
