Popcorn - A Maiden's Secret (Lyrics Video)

Описание: 📖 Lyrics

I have written this day down in my heart
As the sweetest day in the season;
From all of the others I've set it apart--
But I will not tell you the reason.

That is my secret--I must not tell;
But the skies are soft and tender,
And never before, I know full well,
Was the earth so full of splendor.

I sing at my labor the whole day long,
And my heart is as light as a feather;
And there is a reason for my glad song
Besides the beautiful weather.

But I will not tell it to you; and though
That thrush in the maple heard it,
And would shout it aloud if he could, I know
He hasn't the power to word it.

Up, where I was sewing, this morn came one
Who told me the sweetest stories,
He said I had stolen my hair from the sun,
And my eyes from the morning glories.

Grandmother says that I must not believe
A word men say, for they flatter;
But I'm sure he would never try to deceive
For he told me--but there--no matter!

Last night I was sad, and the world to me
Seemed a lonely and dreary dwelling,
But some one then had not asked me to be--
There now! I am almost telling.

Not another word shall my two lips say,
I will shut them fast together,
And never a mortal shall know to-day
Why my heart is as light as a feather.

Wrote by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
