                                                YOU  !
Like well  conceived  plot  of  a  Play
harmoniously  knit
if  I  could  get   only a  few  moments
strung  into  a  wreath!
Scarcely  did  I  finish the  thought ; -you  step  in
dressed  in gorgeous  red  and  gold
bringing  with  you the  aroma  of
the   summer  eve   - now  cooling  down !
In  you--- there  is  a  softness balmy  that  give solace
and  when  I  chance  to  laugh  it  away
and  call it  some  effect  of  nerves  or  science
you  cut  short  my  loquacity .

As  it grows  darker; the  stars  shine  bright
the  vast  void  reveals the Cosmic  wonder!
This  one  perception  alone is   a  fountain-head
of  many a  melodious tune ; -  when
  dressed  in  gorgeous red  and  gold
you  step  in  and  sit  by  me ;with  an  air  of  intimacy
eager  to  communicate !
