Beneath the chestnut tree I lie <br />And gaze into the summer sky <br />And watch the clouds go floating by <br />Within the sea of blue. <br /> <br />Here I came at break of dawn <br />And I've remained throughout the morn <br />Feeling lonely and forlorn <br />With nothing else to do. <br /> <br />Resting in its leafy shade <br />Upon the firm and grassy glade <br />The afternoon and evening fade <br />And disappear from view. <br /> <br />I see the sunset then unfold <br />The skies of amber turn to gold <br />The passion that I couldn't hold <br />No love could be more true. <br /> <br />I remain as darkness falls <br />When echoes of my heartache calls <br />The sadness that I feel appals <br />If only I had you.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beneath-the-chestnut-tree/
