by Charles Hanson Towne (1877 - 1949)
I sometimes wonder
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!
