Sally come back

 

Sally come back,

Deep, deep,

Burning, burning,

From the murky milk mist moor

Where you were walking,

Return.

Cross silent stream, ice surfaced.

Fire, fire in my heart

Yearning, yearning.

Sally, crush frost starched spikes of grass,

Running, running

Home to the fire

Waiting, hoping
