I know Suspense－it steps so terse 1
And turns so weak away－
Besides－Suspense is neighborly
When I am riding by－
Is always at the Window 5
Though lately I descry
And mention to my Horses
The need is not of me－
And turns so weak away－
Besides－Suspense is neighborly
When I am riding by－
Is always at the Window 5
Though lately I descry
And mention to my Horses
The need is not of me－
