F635A - Sweet - you forgot - but I remembered

Sweet - You forgot - but
I remembered
Every time - for Two -
So that the Sum be never
hindered
Through Fatigue - • the Lapse - Decay of You -

Say if I erred? Accuse
my Farthings -
Blame the empty - • childish little Hand
Happy it be for You - a Beggar's -
Saving - Seeking more - to spend -

Just to be Rich - to waste
my Guineas
On so Best a Heart -
Just to be Poor - for
Barefoot Vision
You - Sweet - Shut me out -
