Eight O'Clock
From Wikisource
| ←Flame and Shadow | Eight O'Clock (1920) by |
Supper comes at five o'clock,
At six, the evening star,
My lover comes at eight o'clock --
But eight o'clock is far.
How could I bear my pain all day
Unless I watched to see
The clock-hands laboring to bring
Eight o'clock to me.
