She sat beneath the old apple tree
Besides the river, fringing with graceful elms
Lost awhile in tranquil's spree..
With jubilant dreams, her heart overwhelms;
Her eyes gazing at the barks of Silver Oak, standing high
Overhead glows the midsummer sky..
It was a perfect moment, an hour to cherish
As if borrowed from a timeless tale,
Topped with flavours to relish
Hers.. was the happiest soul in the vale'
Living over that precious time
When he told his love in a flawless rhyme..
The voice echoed.. again and again..
Causing her eyes to gleam with the shine,
She had no concerns, worries ~ no, not one in vain
The world is fair and the skies are fine..
She smiled o'er that sweet little clandestine
Nestled in her heart, like the prayers in a shrine..
