First Line: I look on nature, and my thoughts
Last Line: The others take my breath away.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
I LOOK on Nature, and my thoughts,
Like nimble skaters, skim the land;
But when I watch my loved one near,
My thoughts are walkers in soft sand.
I am a man that sees a sky
Alive with stars that cannot rest;
My eyes are here, my eyes are there,
Above, and then below her breast.
Much like the summer's bee am I,
A thousand flowers before his eyes;
He, knowing each one's power to please,
No sooner settles than must rise.
I sit bewildered by those charms
That follow wave by wave all day;
When I would with one wave make free,
The others take my breath away.
