The Glade

We took a path through yonder glade Beneath the mighty beechwood’s shade A clearing sparse where sunlight played Upon the moss where we once laid Our souls entwined in deep repose My love and I the place we chose To seal our love that summer day A promise kept till yesterday When I placed her in her resting place To wait for me to share her space Till then I’ll walk this lonesome track And often think of coming back To visit where we once laid Two lovers joined in sun-filled glade
