Forlorn and melancholy,
Sits a boy on a stone bench,
His playmates playing away,
A boy tries to awaken him,
No avail.
Another bullies him,
He merely sulks away.
Then comes a girl
Glittering like a pearl
With a sweet smile
On her lips.
She sits beside him.
And the boys face brightens
And he jumps up in joy
Slowly the girl leaves
Without a word,
The boy turns forlorn
And melancholy
Forever.
