[00:00.61]When I am old, and comforted,
[00:02.37]And done with this desire,
[00:04.63]With memory to share my bed.
[00:08.60]When I am old, and comforted,
[00:10.27]And done with this desire,
[00:12.64]With peace to share my fire,
[00:16.41]
[00:16.77]I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands
[00:20.03]Beneath my laundered cap,
[00:24.75]And watch my cool and fragile hands
[00:28.81]Lie light upon my lap.
[00:31.45]
[00:32.81]And I will have a sprigged gown
[00:36.86]With lace to kiss my throat;
[00:40.78]I'll draw my curtain to the town,
[00:44.86]And hum a purring note.
[00:47.56]
[00:48.88]And I'll forget the way of tears,
[00:52.66]And rock, and stir my tea.
[00:56.96]But oh, I wish those blessed years
[01:00.90]Were further than they be!
[01:04.09]
[01:04.98]And I will have a sprigged gown
[01:08.85]With lace to kiss my throat;
[01:12.77]I'll draw my curtain to the town,
[01:16.90]And hum a purring note.
[01:20.41]
[01:20.84]When I am old, and comforted,
[01:22.84]And done with this desire,
[01:25.14]With memory to share my bed
[01:28.98]When I am old, and comforted,
[01:30.80]And done with this desire,
[01:33.07]With peace to share my fire,
[01:37.19]With peace to share my fire,
[01:40.09]
