Dorothy Parker - I Shall Come BackDorothy Parker - I Shall Come Back
Work rating: Low


I shall come back without fanfaronade Of wailing wind and graveyard panoply; But, trembling, slip from cool Eternity- A mild and most bewildered little shade. I shall not make sepulchral midnight raid, But softly come where I had longed to be In April twilight`s unsung melody, And I, not you, shall be the one afraid. Strange, that from lovely dreamings of the dead I shall come back to you, who hurt me most. You may not feel my hand upon your head, I`ll be so new and inexpert a ghost. Perhaps you will not know that I am near- And that will break my ghostly heart, my dear.
