Constance La France Poet Verse

Where the Bluebirds Sing

Oh my heart, my heart, my heart I hold in my hand,
And I bring it to you, my love, on this rainy day I come;
Where the wind takes my hair and I walk among the rows, 

        The quiet rows of headstones.
          Our destiny was decided above, 
             There was no time for us written.

Our love but a moment in time and then our dreams died.

         We thought we had forever,
            Tears is all I have to give you;
               And my heart, my heart is yours.

And if I fall along the way in this life, will you take my hand?

         Will you carry me along? 
             I know you dwell above,
                Where the bluebirds sing.

And if I fall along the way will you take my hand and carry me?

          We thought we had forever. . . 

                                Oh, why does love have to die!
