Lyrics

If you were coming in the Fall

I'd brush the Summer by

With half a smile, and half a spurn

As Housewives do, a Fly

If I could see you in a year

I'd wind the months in balls --

And put them each in separate Drawers

For fear the numbers fuse --

If only Centuries, dalayed

I'd count them on my Hand

Subtracting, till my fingers dropped

Into Van Dieman's Land

If certain, when the life was out --

That yours and mine, should be

I'd toss it yonder, like a Rind

And take Eternity --

But, now, uncertain of the length

Of this, that is between

It goads me, like the Goblin Bee --

That will not state -- its sting

Written by: Carla Bruni, Emily Dickinson
