The Shepherd's Song |
The heavy air was scented by |
The disappointed flowers |
The weatherman had promised them |
Warm soft summer showers |
They bowed their weary heads |
Resigned to wait a few more hours |
And we walked together in the half light |
Down secret paths |
Climbed wooden fences |
Till a dancing meadow |
Enveloped us within its grassy web |
There was no need for discussion |
It was surely no disgrace |
Her soft skin had the texture |
Of the finest silken lace |
Waiting moist and trembling |
It was just the time and place |
And our woven bodies sang together |
In harmony |
With understanding |
Till we fell back smiling |
Rejoicing in the music we had made |
The blood red summer sunset |
Was a slowly spreading stain |
That rose behind the bandstand |
As the shepherd played again |
We heard his silver trumpet |
It had blown away the rain |
And we lay together in the long grass |
Holding hands |
And making sweet talk |
Till the smell of woodsmoke |
Reminded us that it was to go |
