One Sister have I in our house

Version 1
One Sister have I in our house - And one, a hedge away. There's only one recorded, But both belong to me.

One came the road that I came - And wore my last year's gown - The other, as a bird her nest, Builded our hearts among.

She did not sing as we did - It was a different tune - Herself to her a music As Bumble bee of June.

Today is far from Childhood - But up and down the hills I held her hand the tighter - Which shortened all the miles -

And still her hum The year among, Deceives the Butterfly; Still in her Eye The Violets lie Mouldered this many May.

I spilt the dew - But took the morn; I chose this single star From out the wide night's numbers - Sue - forevermore!

Version 2

One came the road that I came - And wore my last year's gown - The other, as a bird her nest Builded our hearts among.

She did not sing as we did - It was a different tune - Herself to her a music As Bumble bee of June.

Today is far from Childhood, But up and down the hills, I held her hand the tighter - Which shortened all the miles -

And still her hum The year among, Deceives the Butterfly; And in her Eye The Violets lie, Mouldered this many May.

I spilt the dew, But took the morn - I chose this single star From out the wide night's numbers - Sue - forevermore!

Version 3
One Sister have I in our house, And one, a hedge away. There's only one recorded, But both belong to me.

One came the road that I came — And wore my last year's gown — The other, as a bird her nest, Builded our hearts among.

She did not sing as we did — It was a different tune — Herself to her a music As Bumble bee of June.

Today is far from Childhood — But up and down the hills I held her hand the tighter — Which shortened all the miles —

And still her hum The years among, Deceives the Butterfly; Still in her Eye The Violets lie Mouldered this many May.

I spilt the dew — But took the morn — I chose this single star From out the wide night's numbers — Sue - forevermore!
