The Path of a Doe

The path of a doe crossed that of a fawn
    who nuzzled up to her ere break of dawn

  They lay down together, limbs wrapped 'bout each other
    No one would guess they were not babe and mother 

  Sun's golden rays soon broke through the trees
    Slipping once, the fawn rose to her knees

  Rubbing up 'gainst the doe, the fawn was off with a leap
    Ne'er again to meet, the doe paused to weep
