| LYRIC It was Summer On the lake hung a golden haze It was Summer It was one of those endless days so we talked through a field of clover and over a sheepspun hill and it seemed it would last forever and it did until.. came the evening we swung on a garden gate it was heaven you were seven and I was eight and we watched the stars suspended walking home down an apple lane me and rosie a doll.. a daisychain.. on an evening that would never come again Spike Milligan |
My thanks to Dave Haith.
| Believe it or not but it would seem that this is the first time this poem has appeared on a website! Somebody in an Internet group wrote: "It was printed in a newspaper as part of the funeral service of Linda McCartney and was read out by David Bailey. It's the one and only time I have seen it in print, and although I have Googled, etc on Internet, cant find a thing about it " |

| Posted July 29, 2015 From: Abi Ingram Subject: Poem Date: 07/03/2015 Thank you Thank you for putting the Spike Milligan poem 'Lyric' up, my grandad loved it and I've been trying to find a copy to read at his funeral next week. He used to well up every time he read it to me and he had it in an anthology, but I couldnt find the book, nor could I find it anywhere on the Internet! So, thank you, as I am so happy I can read it to him one last time. Kind regards, Abi CA: I was touched and honered Abi. I am so sorry for your loss. - Colin |
