Souvenir lyrics
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Just a rainy day or two
In a windy tower
That was all I had of you-
Saving half an hour
Marred by greeting passing groups
In a cinder walk
Near some naked blackberry hoops
Dim with purple chalk
I remember three or four
Things you said in spite
And an ugly coat you wore
Plaided black and white
Just a rainy day or two
And a bitter word
Why do I remember you
As a singing bird?
