Text | |
Emily tries but misunderstands; she's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams 'til tomorrow. | a |
There
is no other day. Let's try it another way. You'll lose your mind in play. Free games for May. See Emily Play. |
b |
Soon after dark, Emily cries. Gazing through trees in sorrow; hardly a sound 'til tomorrow. | c |
Put on a gown that touches the ground. Float on a river for ever and ever, Emily. | d |
