🌾 Today’s Poem ~ I Saw You

I Saw You
Joshua Henry Jones, Jr.

I saw you as I passed last night,
Ā Ā Ā Ā Framed in a sky of gold;
And through the sun’s fast paling light
Ā Ā Ā Ā You seemed a queen of old,
Whose smile was light to all the world
Ā Ā Ā Ā Against the crowding dark.
And in my soul a song there purled—
Ā Ā Ā Ā Re-echoed by the lark.

I saw you as I passed last night,
Ā Ā Ā Ā Your tresses burnished gold,
While in your eyes a happy bright
Ā Ā Ā Ā Gleam of your friendship told.
And I went singing on my way;
Ā Ā Ā Ā On, on into the dark.
But in my heart still shone the day,
Ā Ā Ā Ā And still—still sang the lark.
