Isle In THe Water

<br>Rod McKuen<br><br>Shy one, dear one, keeper of my heart. She moves in the pantry quietly apart.<br>There she pours the flour. There she kneads the dough to an isle in the water with her I would go.<br><br>Shy one, dear one, keeper of my heart. She moves in the parlor quietly apart.<br>She stands against the window, all in the fire glow to an isle in the water with her I would go.<br><br>Shy one, dear one, keeper of my heart. She moves in the chamber quietly apart.<br>And there she smoothes the linen and fluffs the pillows so to an isle in the water with her I would go.<br><br><br>But I cannot sail for my boat has holes. So I rumple her pillow and I stir the coals.<br>And in the parlor I guess she knows to an isle in the water with her I would go.
