what's o'clock
Each man heard a shot somewhere
Dropping out of the distant air.
Dropping out of the distant air.
But the screaming saws no longer said
"Evelyn Ray," for the men were dead.

I often think of Evelyn Ray.
What did she do, what did she say?
Did she ever chance to pass that way?
"Evelyn Ray," for the men were dead.
*****
I often think of Evelyn Ray.
What did she do, what did she say?
Did she ever chance to pass that way?
I remember it as a lovely spot
Where a cat-bird sang. When he heard the shot,
Did he fly away? I have quite forgot.
Where a cat-bird sang. When he heard the shot,
Did he fly away? I have quite forgot.
When I went there last, he was singing again
Through a little fleeting, misty rain,
And pine-cones lay where they had lain.
Through a little fleeting, misty rain,
And pine-cones lay where they had lain.
