I Have Seen You At the Courtyard Door

I have seen you at the courtyard door, Your hair aglow with summer spark, Your bright blue eyes scanning the skies For your sister soul, the meadowlark I have seen you at the courtyard door Searching the wind bent cherry bough, Picking the first of its bright red fruit So you might sweetness add sweetness to I have seen you at the courtyard door, Weighed by some unnamed sorrow, Your face unfocused and hid by shade Though yet the night your beauty borrowed I have seen you at the courtyard door, And loved you day and night beside, And stood at my window, though hidden away, And dreamed to make of you my bride I have seen you at the courtyard door, A final time from my perch above For I saw you at the courtyard door This morning with another love.
