Poem is Love's Path

                                           Love's Path

This pasture bordered leafy way, where autumn has its mantle cast

And murm'ring brook with crystal song convey my lonely hearts repast

The sunkissed flurry of the breeze cannot deflect my spirit's flight
Eager waits 'pon wooded glade, so come to me before the night

Speed forth my love to this our trysting place, stay here where seasons chill

Touch not the summer of our love on golden carpet warmer still

Need we no touch of hand, no glance of eye for all is said in silent prayer

And to the bedecked cloud above we dance in turn each fashioned layer

Swift draws the day upon its close, God's canvas of the heavens afire

And bird and beast seek now to rest and men to mortal sleep retire
But in the heart of love's delight

The spirit reigns - there is no night
