Henry Elsesser

there's a velvet rose
over satin bows
tables red and green
from a magazine

you got everything you wanted
now it's only what you've got

Angeline
it's a fragile scene
hold your head up higher
when your eyes are tired

you got everything you wanted
now it's only what you've got

and we were happy then
inside our china pen
a world in miniature
a comfort so unsure

stood at the iron gate
but Angel you couldn't wait
you took the world around you
tried to turn it upside down
