She's Nobody (Emily's Song)
She’s Nobody (Emily’s Song) by Jeannine Higgins
V.1
Winter day in Amherst
The myth is dressed in snow
Catch a glimpse
Of her face through the window
She won’t speak to you all that much
Hidden she will stay
Find her words in rhyme
on slips of paper tucked away.

(chorus)
She’s nobody, who are you?
Just a stranger passing through this life
In the spring her garden grows,
But you won’t see the seeds below
Cause they won’t bloom until she’s gone
And you won’t know her till she’s gone

(V. 2)
Robins come
To Emily’s back gate
Poems breathe in all that life creates
She writes of morning sky,
and eternity
Love and loss and questions
Of mortality
(Chorus)

(V. 3)
In a different time
Her wisdom will be read
She will shine
Take her place where men once led
Her eyes like fine wine
Through which the world will see
Tell your name the livelong day
How joyful that will be
(Chorus)
