LOVE LOST

The rain that sat upon a leaf

Stayed there till morning came

When daylight sat in sky so high

I heard them sing a song of love 


Tis not for sorrow nor for grief

The shoeless man was lame

He lost his money in a gamble

And kept one side of her glove


Calypso singers in their lief

Sing words of unfair game

Tis said he had shed the tear

For she was his lovey dove


Ne'er to look back in disbelief

He knew he was fool all the same

  6. Unrequited love sometimes looks foolish, but maybe it's inevitable sometimes.
