Dorothy Parker - Song In A Minor KeyDorothy Parker - Song In A Minor Key
Work rating: Medium


    There`s a place I know where the birds swing low,         And wayward vines go roaming,     Where the lilacs nod, and a marble god         Is pale, in scented gloaming.     And at sunset there comes a lady fair         Whose eyes are deep with yearning.     By an old, old gate does the lady wait         Her own true love`s returning.     But the days go by, and the lilacs die,       And trembling birds seek cover;   Yet the lady stands, with her long white hands       Held out to greet her lover.   And it`s there she`ll stay till the shadowy day       A monument they grave her.   She will always wait by the same old gate,       The gate her true love gave her.
