Oh listless maiden in my garden <br />Wandering aimless on the path, <br />Cupid himself might ask your pardon <br />As you trespass on the grass; <br />For his arrow has brought you woe, <br />How misspent was his shaft, <br />Now you wander oh so slow <br />Caught betwixt both grief and wrath; <br />I am the lark perched on a limb <br />With song that heralds the coming dawn, <br />Who begs you not to think of him, <br />New loves are waiting on the lawn; <br />For beauty and goodness meld in thee, <br />And who can resist such company.<br /><br />David McLansky<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-listless-maiden-in-my-garden/
