i watched you dancing in the clearing to the music of the gurgling streamlet my mind failed and i couldn't move too shy and halted to disturb your peace and freedom
your movements were your essence so i just watched your hands so lightly waving your bare feet and gracious steps the hair that followed every turn of your head
the body pure and naked the spirit free and easy were you a part of this forest or the nature herself?
and how did i get to this forest? i don't remember i've never been there since and will hardly ever be again
was it a dream? or did my memory stray? was it the loss that led me this way?
enchanted and barren of speech and motion seemed something superhuman had opened to me but that was a mystery of the human greatest beauty the memory of which is lost irretrievably only you restored it for an instant to me
was it you who flew in my window when i was a child? and brought coolness of forest and river those stuffy summer nights
and i didn't move and held my breath your night kiss remained with me but you drew me back to my dream and by the morning no traces of you could be seen was it you or your twin?
and now i'm recalling this forest and how i lost my language and thoughts at the sight of your primeval dance you hummed and the air brought your melody through the leaves and the beasts and the birds and the sang it along
and this song echoes still and this song echoes still and this song echoes still and your tune echoes still i hear it all around
