Lyrics by Edna St Vincent Millay, "Recuerdo"

lyrics

We were very tired, we were very merry
We'd gone back and forth, all night on the ferry
It was bare and bright and smelled like a stable
So we looked into a fire, we started across a table

We were very tired, we were very merry
We'd gone back and forth, all night on the ferry
And we sat on a hilltop underneath the moon
And the whistle kept blowing and the dawn came too soon

We were very tired, we were very merry
We'd gone back and forth, all night on the ferry
And you ate an apple and I ate a pear
From a dozen of each that we had bought somewhere

We were very tired, we were very merry
We'd gone back and forth, all night on the ferry
And the sky turned wan and the wind blew cold
And the sun rose dripping a bucket full of gold

We were very tired, we were very merry
We'd gone back and forth, all night on the ferry
And we hailed "good morrow Mother" to a shawl covered head
And we bought a morning paper that neither of us read

We were very tired, we were very merry
We'd gone back and forth, all night on the ferry
And she wept "God bless you" for the apples and the pears
And we gave her all our money except our subway fares
