Alas, you will not sip this cup I bear. To walk this wood alone I must construe. _______________________________________________________________________________ You keep your heart locked in a shroud of rue, Apart from that which fosters daily care. Would I could walk that wild wood with you. _______________________________________________________________________________ Had I the charm of making I would do, But no such gift of witchcraft do I share. To walk this wood alone I must construe. _______________________________________________________________________________ Your shadow taunts round every sacred yew, And will not pause, but vanishes, midair. Would I could walk that wild wood with you. _______________________________________________________________________________ You offer me no lantern shining through This tangle leading on I know not where. To walk this wood alone I must construe. _______________________________________________________________________________ Resignêd though I be to this adieu, I weep for loving lost to laissez-faire. Would I could walk that wild wood with you. To walk this wood alone I must construe. ~ © 2011 RC deWinter
