Leave a Whisper
by
Loyd David Burt
Leave a whisper on my pillow
Send a kiss upon the breeze
Don't cry for me Oh weeping willow
Don't cry for me I beg you, please.
Send the fragrance of summer flower
To assail my senses, soothe my breast.
Bring forth the dawn at an early hour
To light up the room wherein I rest.
Leave a whisper on my pillow
So that I might hear it when you've gone.
Forgive my childish peccadillo
As you did in days bygone.
Let that whisper say, "I love you"
And that you'll forgive my tiny sin,
Let not it mar my moral virtue
For my heart is there, and yours to win.
Leave a whisper on my pillow
With the memory of the night we spent,
Where flames of passion did rise and billow
In that bed you now absent.
Misty eyed I search our love nest
To detect a sign that you were here,
I implore you with this one request,
"Leave a whisper, for me to hear."
