Analysis of Wet eyes

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



Her eyes wept for him
Day after day
It sank her heart
When his love went away
But his love was too far for her to reach
Instead this love would only preach
On wet singing lips
Oft repeated song
And fast made her loneliness eclipse its prolong
