My Sister And I 1941 Vs2

2011

The warm and lovely world we knew
has been struck by a bitter frost.
But my sister and I recall with a sigh
the world we knew, and loved and lost.

My sister and I remember still
a tulip garden by an old Dutch mill,
and the home that was all our own until...
but we don't talk about that.
My sister and I recall once more
the fishing schooners pulling into shore,
and the dogcart we drove in days before....
but we don't talk about that.
We're learning to forget the fear
that came from a troubled sky.
We're almost happy over here,
but sometimes we wake at night and cry.
My sister and I recall the day
we said goodbye and then we sailed away.
And we think of our friends
who had to stay....
but we don't talk about that.
