The haven of the quiet bedroom ...

Anne's stayed all day in the haven of the quiet bedroom - 

Last night, she, too, was sick - 

The bedroom window frames the gentle sky - 

Downstairs, I cook dinner for my mum and dad - 

I've lived with bombs falling says my dad -

My mum's sleeping on the settee, murmuring something in her dreams - 

Perhaps once more she's dancing with the handsome Captain - 

The beloved teacher is still holding her hand -
