TO WALK A FEW MILES MORE
AND IF YOU WILL, PLEASE WAIT FOR ME
BESIDE THE SPARKLING SHORE
THEN ONE DAY WE CAN RUN AGAIN
ALONG THE SAND AND DOWN THE LANE
ME AND MY SHADOW, SPIRITS FREE
TOGETHER IN ETERNITY
Poem written by Val Munns
In early youth I made a vow
That if to Cupid I should bow,
The one for whom he aimed the dart
At my desired, unclaimed heart,
Must have brown eyes; large, soft brown eyes.
Time came when eyes looked into mine;
Large, soft brown eyes that seemed to shine
With intellect. Did I succumb?
Oh yes! for though the lips were dumb,
Those lovely eyes I deemed a prize.
Within their depths devotion shone,
And as they gazed into my own,
They seemed to say, "My love is thine.
Please let me know that I have thine."
And Oh! I knew his heart was true.
My arms his snowy neck entwined,
And I rejoiced a love to find
So worshipful, so constant, true.
How oft they've thrilled me through and through,
My collie's wise, large, soft brown eyes!
