For the least sin, it wouldn't take us long
To get so we had no one left to live with.

She would have time to turn her eyes,
Her lover thought, upon the glass
And on the instant would grow wise.”

Could the impossible come to pass She would have time to turn her eyes, Her lover thought, upon the glass And on the instant would grow wise.
