“We Have A Secret”

We have a secret, you and I,

that no one else shall know.

For who but I can see you lie

each night in fire glow?

And who but I can reach my hand

before we go to bed,

and feel the living warmth of you,

and touch your silken head?

And only I walk woodland paths

and see ahead of me,

your form racing with the wind,

so young again, and free.

And only I can see you swim

in every brook I pass…

and when I call, no one but I,

can see the bending grass.
