Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

The Lovers

Tearful no more all my fear washed away
Friend and lover as fleeting years do pass
You are my constant you'll never be swayed
Lightly we tread on our life's chosen path.

Beloved you looked and I was fallen
Alone no more like an eagle did fly
Keeper of my heart never crestfallen
We lived and loved never questioning why.

Our mortality was not in question
When mortal coil unravels please be there
Dying I expect no intervention
Hold my hand tightly so I am aware.

Now together we lie carved in cold stone
Decades pass swiftly whilst we do atone.
