I sweat in the blazing sun <br />So as to keep cool, <br />That I may offer you shade. <br />Even though our love disappears as a mirage. <br /> <br />I sway with the wind of the storm <br />So as not to break, <br />That I may hold you in my arms, sheltered <br />As our love falls to the ground like an autumn leaf. <br /> <br />I shiver with the cold of the frost <br />So as to keep warm, <br />That I may surround you with heat <br />While our love dissolves like melting snowflakes. <br /> <br />One day you will remember me <br />And your love will try to burst forth <br />Like a new shoot in the spring, <br />But I will be gone like a white hart disturbed by hunters.<br /><br />Andy Wood<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/white-hart/
