The Day You Were Born by Devi Nina Bingham

On this, the day you were born

I will not glimpse you, nor hear your sweet voice

Evermore the willow will mourn

on this, the day you were born.


And some fair face will sing you a song

and some old, old friend will clap with great glee

and I shall go sit beneath the shade

of a willow that weeps, yet stands tall and strong.


But only I shall think of thee

when in youth our initials we made

on this fair day, 

the day you were born.
