religious poem

do i like it
and so it goes
along the banks
did you ever hear of
there's one that i once loved so much
under dusky laurel leaf
i saw you hunched and shivering on the stones
since i have felt the sense of death
i love the old melodious lays
i have heard them in the night
and as we walked the grass was faintly stirred
good woman
lo! 'tis a gala night
i wonder where you live
