Windy Hill
Windy Hill
Breathless, we both flung ourselves on the windy hill,
We both laughed out loud in the searing sun and kissed the lush grass
I heard you say, Through sheer ecstasy, we glorify as we pass
The earth, wind, and sun shall remain as the birds thus sing on
When we are old upon the years... alas then shall we die
All that is ours or was and still life burns on
Through other lips, desires and lovers', said I,
You are my heart of hearts and heaven shall now be won!'
We have learned our lesson here, on our precious earth's best
Life can be ours as long as we don't cry, we have kept our faith we said
Reluctantly we shall go down as surely we do tread
As proud as we were, all in rose-colored views into the darkness
We have laughed about all the simple things we did say
No honest of words, brave and honesty we thus turned away.

Would this be an allusion or an illusion?
