The Lonesome Meadow

Beside that lonesome meadow 
where the bluebells used to grow
there lies a lonesome pathway
that wanders to and fro
where afternoon talks and moonlit walks
would while away the hours
and there a bed of softest grass 
and lightly scented flowers

How lonesome now that meadow 
where the bluebells used to grow
how lonesome is that pathway 
that wanders to and fro
no more the talks and moonlit walks
that while away the hours
how lonesome is that bed of grass
that so often 
we called ours.
