Where Does This Tenderness Come From?
Den här dikten läste Ben för Meg när han bjudit henne till sitt hus för den romantiska kväll han planerat när han kom hem från sjukhuset efter de varit instängda i grottan.
Where does this
tenderness come from?
It is not the first curls I have stroked slowly,
And lips I have known darker than yours.
The stars rise off yours and then go out again.
Where does this tenderness come from?
So many eyes have risen and died out in front of these eyes of
mine,
And yet no such song have I heard in the darkness of night
before.
Where does this tenderness come from?
Here, in the ribs of the singer.
Where does this tenderness come from?
And what shall I do with it
Young, sly singer, just passing by,
Your lashes are longer than anyones.
