Wie einst Lili Marlen - # 08/27

"Wenn sich die spaeten Nebel drehn werd' ich bei der Laterne steh'n, wie einst Lili Marlen".

(When the night time mists are swirling I will stand in the lamplight as once I did so long ago, my dear Lili Marlen).

"Your sweet face seems to haunt my dreams my Lilly of the Lamplight, my own Lilly Marlene".

Here is my own Lilly Marlene, bathed in her lamplight, captured in the night time shadows of Brentford. (Her inspiration would now be about 86).

(Thanks for all the kind comments yesterday. My internet connection has a serious fault. I am working on a neighbour's machine so cannot visit you directly).
