Young Love

Birds are singing

Bells are ringing

Sweet scents are in my nostrils tingling

Sky awakes

The baker bakes

Muckers rake

Thieves take

All is well

In Valley Greane

Even when the mourners keen

The wheel of life goes round and round

Their feet may never touch the ground

Over rivers

Under falls

Echoes ring off mountain walls

Not tall or short

Neither fat nor thin

A young girl walks among the din

With swaying hips

Through crowds she skips

To a ruddy boy she greets with soft lips

Young love is neither pure nor true

Yet it may be

Just for these two

They stroll together

Hand in hand

Until the music man

Strikes up the band

People laughing

Feet tapping

Arms around each other wrapping

Our pair they dance

Throughout the day

Until the sun

Has gone away

And when it's time

For parting ways

They need to leave

But wish to stay

A tender

whispered

soft

goodnight

This love won't die without a fight

Young love is neither pure nor true

And yet it is

Just for these two
