That I do love you darling so,
Oh, know;
That I so ache that I may take
You where I go
And stay in range of your blue eyes,
Dear, realise
And lie at every eventide
Always
By your side
Forgive long days when no notes come
I feel the lack as well as you –
Something creative and honest to do...
Even the dull eternal afternoon
Lit dustily by sun on the Eastern side
Of dear old Mafeking gleams...
