A Rhymeless Song

________________________________________________
Title:     A Rhymeless Song
Author: Edward Shanks [More Titles by Shanks]

Rhyme with its jingle still betrays
The song that's meant for one alone.
Dearest, I dedicate to you
A little song without a rhyme.

The most unpractised schoolboy knows
That quiet kisses are the sweetest.
Safe locked within my arms you lie,
Let not a single sound betray us.

Suppose your jealous mother came
By chance this way and found us here...
Be still, be still, and not a sound
Shall give her warning that we love.

[The end]
Edward Shanks's poem: Rhymeless Song
