What shall I tell thee?



Shall I tell you of the day?

You walked and spoke there
I only knew the day for you

Or will I tell you of the night?
You saw it hurrying on
And didn't pause to admire it

What use the day or night to me?
If all their glory is known to thee
And telling thee is vain repeat
What then, my love, shall I tell thee?


-J. Thadeus Richie
