I stroll along a fragrant country lane a
With honeysuckle perfume on the air – b
And feathered crooner’s warble to revere – b
Then cross a golden sea of flowing grain a
In empathy – it seems to sense my pain a
Of knowing all was done with my affair -b
Her empty meaning now the solitaire b
She cast away – betrothment all in vain. A
But oceans team with many fish to catch c
So I must up and hoist another sail d
And seek the one that really waits for me, e
For soon auspicious breezes will prevail d
