In a clearing, in the forest, on that perfect day in spring,
\nSo much beauty overshadowed as my heart began to sing.
\nOn your own amidst your sisters, in your eyes I saw the night.
\nI was lost to all distraction drinking waves of pure delight.
\nCould not hear embarrassed giggles, just the beating of my heart,
\nFrom the moment that I saw you something new was doomed to start.<\/p>\n
You were bathed in lily water, I was drowning in your dreams,
\nWhen you spoke I heard the laughter of a thousand mountain streams.
\nAs I helped you from the water all of heaven was revealed,
\nWith your sisters’ gaze averted to your lips I had to yield.
\nWhen a man has kissed an angel, or a nymph has won his soul,
\nThere is nothing but her favour that can make his spirit whole.<\/p>\n
On that perfect day in springtime, in that stream fed, sunlit pool,
\nI was changed from man the hunter into man the lovestruck fool.<\/p>\n
