For a Deer Friend

Alas my friend, what do I see, When thou, beheaded, are brought to me? I see there is but not a chance For you and me to have a dance And let ourselves be merry and gay I guess we’ll meet another day. If only thou had chanced to see Your body should have been with me Not in the fields with hopes to prance Amongst young men who cannot dance. And so my sweet let’s not delay I must move on to other prey.
