Meadow and Orchard

Language: English

My heart is like a meadow, 
Where clouds go over, 
Dappling the mingled grass and clover 
With mingled sun and shadow, 
With light that will not stay 
And shade that sails away. 

Your heart is like an orchard, 
That has the sun for ever in its leaves, 
Where, on the grass beneath the trees, 
There falls the shadow of the fruit 
That ripen there for me.
