lyrics

O Bitersweet Dear Madeline by Pamela Wyn Shannon

Your wine-kissed lips and blushed stain
Are rustic songs with a yearn for refrain
Deep-dyed the twilight in the violet hour
The garden lantern makes golden the flowers

O Bittersweet Dear Madeline
The bedstraw is tangled in your hair
He flutters over your bright mouth
As you gently pull him to your lair
Your love making the earth sweet
As your bodies perfume the passing air...

A fallen leaf has been misplaced
Tis woven in the nest the sparrow made
Dewy tongues speak and delay
The hips of trees do sing and sway

O Bittersweet Dear Madeline
The bedstraw is tangled in your hair
He flutters over your bright mouth
As you gently pull him to your lair
Your love making the earth sweet
As your bodies perfume the passing air...

They rush to come with the flowing air
They change their shape
Then disappear
From here to hear
Disappear...
