Love’s Fawn
14 September 2006

When the heart was warm
and the light green
Her emerald eyes had spoken
for she wanted to be the queen

Proposals of marriage
laying down the law
Such provisions she set
for the man she claims to adore

Her heart broken
in disappointment wept
Was he not the perfect man
or did he have those secrets kept

Those eyes of emerald green
beholden to him in ways borne
For could she love him
and give birth to his fawn

“Do, a deer, a female deer
Re, a drop of golden sun”
“Do-Re-Mi” - Sound of Music
(1959 Broadway Musical and the 1965 movie of the same name)

Within the story, the song is used by Maria to teach the notes of the major musical scale to

Family Singers by Maria von Trapp. The film staring Julie Andrews as Maria Von Trapp was

II (1985-1960). The book was written by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, based on the
book “The Story of the Trapp Family Singers” by Maria von Trapp. It was the final musical
written by the successful team of Rodgers and Hammerstein. Oscar Hammerstein II who died
of cancer just nine months after the opening on Broadway.
