Sunlight and Shadow
We rode to the sunset, I and my shadow,Through distance we glamoured In gold and in gray;My plunder the pearl drops Asleep in the shallowsOf all budding flower hearts In petaled array.
We danced in our frolic, I and my shadow,On to the shore lands Where caverns lie deep;I wearied of darkness And fled to the meadow,To leave in each crevice My shadow asleep.
