[00:00.650]When I am old, and comforted,
[00:02.320]And done with this desire,
[00:04.620]With memory to share my bed
[00:08.650]When I am old, and comforted,
[00:10.270]And done with this desire,
[00:12.540]And peace to share my fire,I’ll comb my hair in scalloped bands
[00:16.770]And peace to share my fire,I’ll comb my hair in scalloped bands
[00:20.590]Beneath my laundered cap,
[00:24.360]And watch my cool and fragile hands
[00:28.600]Lie light upon my lap.
[00:32.770]And I will have a sprigged gown
[00:36.650]With lace to kiss my throat;
[00:40.330]I’ll draw my curtain to the town,
[00:44.740]And hum a purring note.
[00:48.840]And I’ll forget the way of tears,
[00:52.770]And rock, and stir my tea.
[00:56.650]But oh, I wish those blessed years
[01:00.850]Were further than they be!
[01:05.100]And I will have a sprigged gown
[01:09.300]With lace to kiss my throat;
[01:13.240]I’ll draw my curtain to the town,
[01:16.940]And hum a purring note.
[01:21.620]When I am old, and comforted,
[01:22.800]And done with this desire,
[01:25.170]With memory to share my bed
[01:29.180]When I am old, and comforted,
[01:31.270]And done with this desire,
[01:33.210]And peace to share my fire,I’ll comb my hair in scalloped bands
[01:37.290]And peace to share my fire,I’ll comb my hair in scalloped bands
