Maggie Bowen

Bring me a drink,
do be swift;
For on the brink,
I will drift;
My thirst has grown,
Where is Maggie Bowen?

Maggie is gone,
fifteen long years;
Left him alone,
with all his fears;
He won't listen at all,
to what is said;
Maggie Bowen did fall,
and now is dead.

She went on before him
Her light did grow dim
But not with old man Bowen
Memory of Maggie has grown.

He calls her and has conversation
Forgotten completely by the next generation
And Maggie is always with him
In his mind, just on the rim.

Never dealt with the loss
Bearing no cross
Maggie is with him there
I'm thinking, really did he care?

Yet he weeps,
When he sleeps
Maggie my love,
Maggie my dove.
