Yours Affectionately



A twinkling star glided unto me
Like thy enchanted look.
A flood of moonlight
Swept over me
Like thy enchanted kiss.

A wave of melody filled my heart
Like thy honey sweet voice.
A wave of solitude
Disappeared from my life
As Thee began to whisper within me.

And now, time gently flows,
The brook hath left the dales.
I see a smiling face
Where dwells impressions of a dream,
Where my ardent thoughts gently sleep.

Thou art out of my vales;
Thou art out of my springs.
Yet I feel contended-
Thee hath gifted to my boyhood winds
A whispering poem for the rest of my sojourn.
