 A Well-Worn Story

In April, in April,
My one love came along,
And I ran the slope of my high hill
To follow a thread of song.

His eyes were hard as porphyry
With looking on cruel lands;
His voice went slipping over me
Like terrible silver hands.

Together we trod the secret lane
And walked the muttering town.
I wore my heart like a wet, red stain
On the breast of a velvet gown.

In April, in April,
My love went whistling by,
And I stumbled here to my high hill
Along the way of a lie.

Now what should I do in this place
But sit and count the chimes,
And splash cold water on my face
And spoil a page with rhymes?

Dorothy Parker

Everything just goes so well together here, and it certainly has a touch of sadness to it.

this reminds me of
what lies beneath, Alicia, the scene where the drowned girl is floating in the water

So sad a poem, love gone bad...sigh

She reminds me of the actress Diane Lane. This is really cool and I can see this on an album or book cover in a New York Minute! I really like it.
