happy birthday poem

looking beyond
why so sad my lovely one?
gaily through the fields we danced
up to her chamber window
as a white candle
stand here by my side
the lightning flashed, and lifted
and breaketh bread no more
eighty years have passed, and more
there is a country full of wine
while i stood listening, discreetly dumb
last night the full moon laid a cloth of white
along a river-side
