A yellow dress for sale <br />Worn only twice <br />As good as new <br />At a very low price <br /> <br />I bought the yellow dress <br />With such a happy heart <br />I Didn't see then <br /> <br />How my true love <br /> <br />And I could ever part <br /> <br />I wore the yellow dress <br />with a white rose <br />in my hair <br /> <br />His eyes were everywhere <br />But not on me....you see <br /> <br />I lent the yellow dress <br />To my friend to wear <br />I helped to pin a white rose <br />In her brown dark hair <br /> <br />His eyes did stray <br />Not a time my way <br /> <br />Not a word or glance <br />Between us two <br />He danced with her <br />that long night through <br /> <br />A yellow dress for sale <br /> <br />I saw his love begin <br />In a quickened glance <br />And her heart was his <br />Before their second dance <br /> <br />And in the fall his bride <br />she'll surely be <br />And a bridesmaid I <br />Who his wife should truly be <br /> <br />How can the heart <br />Such anguish hold <br />When hope is dead <br />and love grows cold <br />And proud lips must <br />Their smiles arrange <br /> <br />Through bitter tears <br />Is the world <br />So lost and strange <br /> <br />A yellow dress for sale <br />Worn only twice <br />As good as new <br />At a very low price<br /><br />Isabelle Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-yellow-dress-for-sale/
