He ran till breath did from him depart,

the eve eclipsed the stead of his heart.

His feet speedy were when heard the phrase,

to takes a glint of her without amaze.

He reached the height and clomb with speed,

and all dangers in his soul did steed.

The unspoken words bespoke enchantment,

till the view of her brought him a chancement.

She stood there draped in purest white,

her beauty filled his heart with delight.

As their eyes met and left their mark,

warm blush across her face like lark.

He raised his hand to her gentle chin,

admiring her countenance rare.

But she seemed too coy for his affections,

not wishing them there.

Though his heart pleaded with hers,

he could not utter the words of love.

For she shied from his advance,

as if this embrace were enough.

A soft breeze blew between them two thus,

like doves they twain embraced ‘mongst us.

He went ahead and gathered her close to stay true,

their souls harmonized like sweet oath— an oath that renew!

Somewhere in the valleys dulcet songs 'ere rung through,

Their love transcended any tongue so true!
