Lilies of the Field (1963) starring Sidney Poitier, Lilia Skala, Stanley Adams

Oh Promise Me [song lyrics]

Song lyrics to Oh Promise Me (1889), music by Reginald De Koven, lyrics by Clement Scott

Oh, promise me that someday you and I
Will take our love together to some sky
Where we can be alone and faith renew,
And find the hollows where those flowers grew,
Those first sweet violets of early spring,
Which come in whispers, thrill us both, and sing
Of love unspeakable that is to be;
Oh, promise me! Oh, promise me!

Holmes: Somehow, the tune… is the key to the mystery. It must be the tune. Otherwise, why use three musical boxes to convey the message? Why not collar boxes, or shoe boxes?
