The Green Pajamas

The Death Of Molly Bernard


When he left for to fight
There was no way to tell her
But seven months later he returned from the war
And they told him that Monday
She had disappeared just Sunday
Stricken with grief she could wait no more

It being in the winter
He set out to find her
He searched from the river clear to the train yard
And there in the snow
Behind a red trolley
Was the cold white body of Molly Bernard
