Somebody's ball dress
M. Brahe
Somebodys ball dress
Dainty of hue,
Frills all of faded rose,
Ribbons of blue.
Somebody wore it
Looking so fair,
Pearls on her pretty neck,
Flowers in her hair.
Somebody's ball dress
Sure it could tell
Tales of a lover's sigh,
Kisses as well.
Here is a rosebud
Pinned to its breast,
Fold it away again,
Love knows the rest.
