He met her on the glowing green
The gentlest girl he'd ever seen
With artless eyes and guileless mien
Modestly.
She first demurred, he took his chance
He spoke to her of pure romance
She slipped into his courtship dance
Lovingly.
He pushed her to the deep to bed
Desire-drenched in sweetness' stead
And with one stroke, she took his head
Tenderly.
She ate her fill, her portion spare
She left him swaying, thoughtless, there
She skywards sent a humble prayer.
Piously.
