| O, Time Be kind. Help this weary being To forget what is sad to remember. Loose my loneliness, Ease my mind, While you eat my flesh. ........................... |
| To the weeping Willow I stood beneath your limbs And you flowered and finally clung to me And when the wind struck with...the earth And sand - you clung to me. ................................ |
| I could have loved you once And even said it But you went away, A long way away. When you came back it was too late And love was a forgotten word. Remember? .................................. |
| Here goes - Good night Sleep tight And sweet repose. Where ever you lay your Head- I hope you find your nose. ................................... |
| Just a few of the verses penned by Marilyn. |
|
| Night of the night-- Soothing--darkness-- Refreshes--Air seems Different--Night has No eyes nor no one-- Silence--except to The night itself. ......................................... |
