How Sad, How Lovely

How sad, how lovely,

how short, how sweet,

to see the sunset

at the end of a street

and the day gathered in

to a single light

and the shallows rising

from the brim of the night

too few, too few

are the days that will hold your face, your face in a blaze of cold

how sad how lovley,

how short how sweet

to see the sunset at the end of a street

and the lights going on

in the shops and the bars

and the lovers looking for the first little signs

like life, like your smile, like the fall of leaf

how sad how lovley, how sweet
