THE PASSIONATE REPLY TO THE NYMPH
Flowers bloom and may quickly wilt
But there's still time for our Garden to be rebuilt
I realize time passes and people can change
But let's not leave behind a lonely grange
Rivers will dry up and leave the rocks cold
But we can still enjoy the moment and grow old
Even In difficult times of sorrow
We will seek for a better tomorrow
A new sunrise will appear to vanquish the past
Overcome with joy, you'll forget what just passed
Time may tell how it shall be
As gloomy skies take over seas
The chilled weather may frost your cheeks
But their rosy glow definitely speaks
Like the sun it beats the numb
And I know our love will bring a sweet outcome
I’ll take desperate measures to win your love
And do anything to keep your spirits above
I offer my warmth and many joys
Including delights to fulfill your poise
Love takes time but I will commit
I’ll be patient and not quit
Untruthful I may seem
But what of it, a fool can still dream
