Milady
MILADY
The months and years, they pass me by.
Milady in your tower on high
Looks down below
From your curtained window
To a broad, fresh plain of December’s snow.
Beneath the moon of the emerald spring,
In the spacious courtyard where angels sing,
Where redolent breezes weep and sigh,
I shall place on your finger a wedding ring
Milady, my love, in your chamber on high.
John Lars Zwerenz
