Voice Lost in the Night

And time doth stand,
as a moments breath;
like seasons which seem nare to change,
or a stream that endlessly flow,
from where,
to where.

So wait I till next time,
that perchance to meet,
and hear her gloze,
as my gaze fall shyly away from vision rare;
that shame the handmaids of the twilight night.

Though I list,
she feel as I;
or wis my heart or mind.
Yet by gracious patience
hold my toung,
and list that she were mine.

And so I stand,
so near, so far,
as ne aught excapen the haunting beauty
she doth expose;
bewray not, (my thoughts)
save the liking of the sound of her voice.
