I remember
Meeting you
In September,
Sixty-two.
We were eating,
Both of us;
And the meeting
Happened thus:
Accidental,
On the road
(Sentimental
Episode),
I was gushing,
You were shy;
You were blushing—
So was I;
I was smitten,
So were you
(All that's written
Here is true);
Any money?
Not a bit.
Rather funny,
Wasn't it?
Vows we plighted—
Happy pair!
How delighted
People were!
But your father—
To be sure—
Thought it rather
Premature;
And your mother—
Strange to say
Was another
In the way.
What a heaven
Vanished then
(You were seven,
I was ten)!
That was many
Years ago—
Don't let any
Body know.
