Why did she look forlornly
Towards that distant house
Whose windows shone so cheerily
Festooned with coloured lights
Was she waiting for her lover
Had he promised her he would come
And meet her in the meadow
To run away as one
Alone she stood on the grassy knoll
Itself festooned with dew
Her dress of palest satin shone
In the light of the silvery moon
Adorned with shining pearls
It caught rainbows of glittering light
From the diamond caught net in her russet hair
The moon hung heavy in the darkened sky
It’s light filtered by trees all around
Through branch and leaf it fell
Softly finding its way
To form a halo upon the ground
Surrounding her without a sound
A sigh, soft as gossamer wings
Bitter as gall
Slipped through her bright red lips
As she turned to leave the meadow
Leaving her love behind
Her dark eyes awash with diamonds
Glistening teardrops yet to fall.
