Sunlight and Shadow
We rode to the sunset,I and my shadow,Through distance we glamouredIn gold and in gray;My plunder the pearl dropsAsleep in the shallowsOf all budding flower heartsIn petaled array.
We danced in our frolic,I and my shadow,On to the shore landsWhere caverns lie deep;I wearied of darknessAnd fled to the meadow,To leave in each creviceMy shadow asleep.
We felt the cool winds rush,I and my shadow,I came with the sunbeamsThat followed the dawn;The mist veil of shadowWas left for the dreamer,While I rode imprisonedIn rays of the sun.
