Such a Sweet Caress (Pantoum)

                    By Munda

 

                    It was such a sweet caress

                    On that weary dreary day,

                    While I cried for bonnie lass,

                    Solemn grief ate me away.

 

                    On that weary dreary day

                    Death came passing by my door,

                    Solemn grief ate me away,

                    Broke my heart forever more.

 

                    Death came passing by my door

                    And looked at my soppy eyes,

                    Broke my heart forever more;

                    My sweet bonnie lass just died.

 

                    She looked at my soppy eyes

                    And felt sorry in a way,

                    My sweet bonnie lass just died,

                    Death said: "it's your lucky day."

 

                    She felt sorry in a way,

                    - Her kiss cold yet sweet to me -

                    Death said: "it's your lucky day,

                    Your sweet bonnie lass you’ll see."

 

                    Her kiss cold yet sweet to me,

                    While I cried for bonnie lass,

                    "Your sweet bonnie lass you’ll see,"

                    Death was such a sweet caress.
