The Mime And Lady Fair
On the same hour, every day
As the sun does rise
Enters now into the park
The rainbow of his eyes
On Monday morn is when she comes
With a book in hand
Hair tucked back into a tie
Today he has a plan
Behind a tree, he peeks around
to see the lady fair
Takes a step into the grass
But ceases movement there
Beauty's cast into his eyes
For this rarity, he holds still
For how could he disturb the view
To tell what he does feel
A mime at best, his wording lost
He slowly fades away
Back behind the cottonwood
Today shan't be the day
Tuesday comes with mournful tear
For what now shall he do
To show the lady of his heart
That he loves her true
As she sits with violin
Bow across the string
He thinks if I was not this mime
For my sweet love I'd sing
He reaches down, upon the earth
And plucks a dandelion
"This shall be a gift to her
To show her I am trying"
Her Arms do sway, a dance in play
With bow and wood and string
And as he slowly walks her way
He hopes and prays and dreams
She meets his eye on his approach
And plays a song in time
He holds hand out, with the gift
Of nature from a mime
And as she stops to take the gift
She lays down her violin
Sheet music flies with dandelion
Into uncharted wind
She runs away to catch the sheets
Her music to retrieve
His head drops with saddened tear
For the notion he conceived
The dark haired girl, summer's joy
His heart does love with bliss
He'd give up everything he knows
To share one magic kiss
Wednesday comes, up with the sun
And under tree forlorn
Sits the mime of heavy woe
In pain of heart so torn
He sees her enter leisurely
Waltzing through the park
He tucks his head into his knees
To her he will not hark
Then suddenly upon his arm
He feels a gentle touch
"Could it be? oh let be
The one I love so much"
He gives a pause with one last hope
He slowly lifts his head
To see the smile of the girl
Then not one word is said
She lifts her hands and signs the signs
That say I love you too
I waited months for you to come
My wish finally came true
Hand in hand, with true love's vow
They begin now down the walk
Hearts speaking more between the two
Than words could ever talk
