ANOTHER SONG

Marion Strobel

Read by Roma Lizza Romero

 

And if I say I love you, what of that?

Love is another song that will not sing

Aloud, a beauty made to wonder at

And not to grasp, the breathless fluttering

In the throat. And if I say I love you…

Once, in the evening, we played a game –

Do you remember how I ran into

The meadow seeking you, calling your name?

Once when the wind was high and shadows slid

Across the ground, and the white moon was full,

And the hot air was sweet with thyme – I did

Not have to say the night was beautiful.

 

Oh, if I say I love you, can you know

It better, for my having told you so?
