A BLACKBIRD SINGS IN BASIN STREET A blackbird sings in Basin Street As evening kisses the day The lamp outside is the setting sun Its light steals the night away All around this little house That means so much to you and me Whispers of a misty evening Romances each gentle tree The canal is in its silence As swans embrace Waterhens make circles Our love in Naas So let us celebrate each moment As the stars multiply the sky And evening melts into timelessness There is no such word as why Now I murmur sweet nothingness As snowdrops lay in flower For all I have I give to you From now with every hour Share this: poemPrintMoreTwitterFacebookLinkedInRedditTumblrPinterestPocketTelegramWhatsAppSkypeEmailLike this:Like Loading...
