The Gloriette

Will you be waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge?

Or look the other way?

The trains have come to take us,

I cannot stay to play.

They labeled us as traitors,

And cast us from our home

With minutes only to gather our things,

I left you here alone.

I don’t expect you to understand,

Or anyone else at all,

The confusion you must have felt,

On my shoulders alone must fall.

I ask you to forgive me,

I don’t know how you could?

You see I can never forgive myself,

Or hope to think you would.

I’m looking for you at the Rainbow Bridge,

And can’t believe I see,

At the other end of the Rainbow Bridge

My precious Lumpe running to me.
