Poem Title:
Poem
The land still held in wint'ry grasp. Against the chill my breath did rasp. When for a moment my eyes did see, A fair maiden dancing nakedly. Nary a stitch nor thread on her wond'rous shape. As she beckoned I could naught but gape. When she spoke her voice was a melody, Promising things that I only dreamed. I went to her in bewildered awe, And this is suddenly what I saw- White roses tangled in her flaxen tresses, A thousand poppies at her feet, Fairies danced in diaphinous dresses, With sunlight was the scene replete. On she led o'er field and meadow. Where she trod the spring would show. With love and joy my heart did swell, For this maiden had rescued me from winter's hell. For hours we laughed and sang and such. I would gasp and tremble at her every touch. Not once did I think to inquire her name, Nor did I ask from whence she came. We rested at length 'neath a stately oak, And this I found when I awoke- Gone was my maiden and the spring she brought, Frozen were the fields and meadows, Simply a dream, or so I had thought, Yet clasped in my hand, a single white rose. I return each day to this lonely place, Hoping to glimpse my fair maiden's face. Low does the sun sink in the winter sky, When I turn home with a tear in my eye. For once again she has neglected to show, And left me this wretched ice and snow. Yet I musn't believe that she does not care, Lest I should let my heart despair. For she will return again one day, Turning as she goes, December to May.
