Song of the Cherokee Under a full but lonely moon, I hear a sweet and plaintive tune. A flute is being played nearby. The music rises to the sky And also to the waiting ear Of an Indian maiden standing near. The young man listens to his heart And once he makes the music start, He pours his feelings into song. He thinks about her all day long And even when he's riding out, Upon a hunt, she's still about. Within his mind, he talks to her Almost as if she really were Already his and waiting for Him to come riding to their door. She hears him and she knows that she Must soon be answering his plea. He'll bring sleek horses for her hand. Her father looks and understands. He knows her feelings, wants what's best, So puts their anxious hearts to rest. He lets them know his daughter can Spend her liftetime with this man. Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (05-08-2002 03:46 PM).] |

Ahhhhh..A look at the real America, mostly gone now, but certainly not forgotten. Such sweet emotions here. Great write. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |
