Old King (Pantoum)

Remember those walks along old King

An afternoon stroll, a late night return

Idle talk of what the future might bring

The cobblestones’ click and the gaslights’ burn

 

An afternoon stroll, a late night return

A ring, a proposal, a marriage

The cobblestones’ click and the gaslights’ burn

A pup, a first child, a new carriage

 

A ring, a proposal, a marriage

A little home on Roundhouse Lane

A pup, a first child, a new carriage

Nothing to lose, the world to gain

 

A little home on Roundhouse Lane

Idle talk of what the future might bring

Nothing to lose, the world to gain

Remember those walks along old King
