Berkeley Square




They sat on a bench 
in Berkeley Square

She in a pale yellow dress
caught pretty in the sunshine

He in a shirt and trousers
and a navy jacket in his suitcase

They watched a slow stream of passers by
walking by, strolling by...

While he asked her a question she wasn't expecting
underneath the trees...

"Will you marry me?"
or some other words he uttered, nervously...

So hand in hand, with tears and smiles, they sat
on a bench in Berkeley Square.
