Love Flies

Love Flies Fly away little bird. Winter winds are churning. Alas, the cold has been delivered Replacing summer’s burning. Fly away my feathered friend The river bank’s receding. My true love left me days ago And now my heart is bleeding. The warm days, the sunny rays Was the time of our love’s season. You’ve turned your back and walked away Without a breath of heart-felt reason. If you ever find me waiting, On the shore at evenings nigh. Keep your path below your feet As I pray when you go by. Fly away, heart of mine Loves season passed the starry night. Winters spirit has cast a spell So spread your wings as you take flight. Carrie Emily Beck
