A Gallant, Unbidden

A gallant, unbidden, appeared one night inside my room; mere words he never spoke! He came creeping softly in the moonlight. A gallant, unbidden, appeared one night with caresses so sweet I felt it might have only been a dream once I awoke. A gallant, unbidden, appeared one night inside my room. Mere words he never spoke. Sept. 21, 2017 for Broken Wing's Form U - U Pick the Form Contest Form is Triolet with ten syllables per line. Word is Unbidden.
