A Lecture upon Shadow Reply to John Donne

Stand still, I say, listen very carefully,
We made shadows, when we walking in morn,
Back shadows donot saw,they hide already,
The love you say innocent,that is mourn.


Hide mistakes behind me you say love 
While noon only does hot with high warm of flame 
How it is noble stage when not comforts nerve?
If we donot do any mistake, love blame.


Humans do mistakes,so they humans,
We cannot know love's loyalty without fault,
Mistakes make relation sometimes 
How mistakes in relation assault.


Noble is last stage no love,no day decay,
Night as death,makes Immortal, I say.
