Method in my Madness
(N.Thomas)

She cuts off the heads of flowers
Saves the stems for a rainy day in June
And her words still cloud my view
I caught her once or twice
Rhyming in riddles and in a way it was sweet
Just to hear her pretty voice singing

    Method in my madness
    Method in my madness
    Method in my madness is what she swore

She reads from Samuel Coleridge
Quotes the verse to a phantom audience
How her smile could move my soul
And even now I hear
A distant echo that rings in my ears
And I swear I can hear her pretty voice singing
