A shady friend for torrid days Lyrics
A shady friend for torrid days
Is easier to find
Than one of higher temperature
For frigid hour of mind
The vane a little to the east
Scares muslin souls away
If broadcloth breasts are firmer
Than those of organdy
Who is to blame? The weaver?
Ah! the bewildering thread!
The tapestries of paradise!
So notelessly are made!
Is easier to find
Than one of higher temperature
For frigid hour of mind
The vane a little to the east
Scares muslin souls away
If broadcloth breasts are firmer
Than those of organdy
Who is to blame? The weaver?
Ah! the bewildering thread!
The tapestries of paradise!
So notelessly are made!
