I and You

 

Sitting beside the lake
Watching hens swim with drakes

'Neath the boughs of a yew
As a gentle breeze blew

We took sup of warm stew
Upon grass topped with dew

While we sipped potent brew
It got dark ere we knew

The sky full of stars
As if with glitter bestrew

That bright twinkle in your eye
Kindled hearts' flames anew

I felt love in my bones
And in every sinew

Fully caught up in you
As we sat 'neath that yew

Rays shimmering 'pon the waters
Like the steam over our stew

We watched the sun setting
Our pants damp from the dew

Our fingers entwined
As we cherished the view
