by Charles Hanson Towne (1877 - 1949)

I sometimes wonder
 (Sung text for setting by A. Woodforde-Finden)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
I sometimes wonder where you stole
The dimple in your chin,
That tiny place upon your face
Where my heart tumbles in !

I sometimes wonder from what bird
You robbed your rippling song ;
You are a thief, 'tis my belief,
Yet, dear, you did no wrong!

Composition:

    Set to music by Amy Woodforde-Finden (1860 - 1919), "I sometimes wonder", published 1906 [ high voice and piano ], from Five Little Japanese Songs, no. 4, London : Boosey & Co.
