A loveliness was found for him,
a tender touch with kindness.
Though he did not know her
she lay next to his heart
warming the shallow with nestling.
Warmth which only she could impart.
*
Unlearned gentleness of a girl
for might was not the needing,
nor a shield from arrows.
Her beauty was to him
as though through a mist percieved,
her innocence unhurt by whim.
*
It was the councel of others
that had brought her to his side,
and that with searching long,
her warm simplicity
the gift that only she could bring,
so that heart with heart would agree.
*
Soft petal in the morning chill
she lay in darkness under.
The moonlight's cold she stays
and sweetly flows the flow.
Her soft breath will not awaken him
as she makes his heart her pillow.
