Walking with Jeanie

I wander with Jeanie along the wild way
where fields become cliffs that drop down to the bay.
With gulls riding thermals, a whispering sea,
the skylark sings love songs for Jeanie and me.

I whisper that love is sweet joy bound with sorrow,
be with me today and I’ll ask no tomorrow,
then gather a posy as evening comes creeping
to lay on the soil where my lovely is sleeping.

That's a lovely comment pip... But it's a bit short really. I think you'd get bored quicker than you think. Cheers - Charlie

Resolved beautifully with that last line. Length isn't everything. Once you've said what you have to say, anything else is superfluous. Exactly the right length.

"I whisper that love is sweet joy bound with sorrow, be with me today and I'll ask no tomorrow."

Shakepeare,

Good night, good night. Parting is such a sweet sorrow, that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow -Juliet

Also as was said, Robert Burns, and reminds as well of William Blake. You are in some very good company!

Keep well! Tom Brown
