Again a shade
Moves at dusk

Among
The shadows
Those others
Who do not matter
Stilling singing
The old melodies
As if nothing
Had changed

Often
I listen to her
Though now
I should know better
Yes once upon a time
Even I was young

Brave and strong
And so easily won

Ah my friend
After all
Is said and done

How her voice
Still carries me
In the wind

I'm unclear about (meaning of?) the 7th. line from the top:  "Stilling singing" ?

I am especially fond of the ending:

"How her voice
  Still carries me
  In the wind"

well done!

Stilling as bringing to a pause,
into a private/quiet place.
A comma would have helped probably.

Thanks both for reading


John
