Love Poem: The Shadow and the Song

The Shadow and the Song

Out of the mist of twilight,
Into the noonday sun;
Slender limbs and brown-eyed,
Dances my lovely one.

She skips thru the meadow singing,
Her shadow frolics along;
Which of these should I follow,
The shadow or her song.

I followed her dancing shadow,
Where love gives heart to all;
Then I captured the song,
Where echoes cease to call.
