The Letter Marked “Unclaimed”

 

I wrote you a letter, darling.

Now your silence is explained

For the postman just returned it

And, my dear, it’s marked “unclaimed”.

So the seal will stay unbroken

And a broken heart remains

There with every word I wrote you

In this letter marked, “unclaimed.”

 

I know we will meet again, dear,

In a world of peace and rest.

Then we’ll climb the ivy mountain

Where the sun slopes down the west.

There my heart will whisper, darling,

To your heart in sweet refrain.

Then we’ll write the answer, darling,

To this letter marked “unclaimed.”
