REFLECTION, by                    
First Line: Alone I climb the mountain path to where
Last Line: With you in everything reflected here.


Alone I climb the mountain path to where
We used to walk together for the view,
And well remember once when sitting there
A time in silence, neither speaking, you,
With moist eyes glistening on the scene below
Said softly: "I shall ever fancy, dear,
There'll come a day when one of us shall know
Some part of each of us is mirrored here."

Dear heart! I know the substance of your thought,
For you are with me as I sit alone --
Each hill, each meadow far beyond, is fraught
With you -- And at my feet, each flower, each stone.
To me, forever shall this spot be dear,
With you in everything reflected here.
