  "Evelyn"
  written by Roger Parker

  Evelyn
  You traveled alone all those years
  After he passed
  You packed the house up
  Leaving behind your happiness
  Before you fled
  You visited with a rose
  By the sea, you said goodbye
  
  Evelyn
  Looking back you bottled your joy
  An aborted child
  Joy became
  Quickly forgotten
  But reflected
  Occasionally regretted
  You visited the woods often
  Sitting on the same stump
  You allowed the nymphs to visit daily
  They spoke in their broken tongue
  The culture, it leathered your skin
