the heart feels a gypsy
the mind a vagabond
the eyes get misty
by the lilies in the pond
bloom the petals pinkish
smudged with streaks of white
swaying slow by wind's kiss
glory displayed bright
upon the slender neckline
crowns of innocent smiles
fill all dark with sunshine
wipe out weary miles
o traveler feel the invite
merrily pause to respond
be a while in sunlight
among the lilies of the pond

the heart feels a gypsy
the mind a vagabond
the eyes get misty
by the lilies in the pond
bloom the petals pinkish
smudged with streaks of white
swaying slow by wind's kiss
glory displayed bright
upon the slender neckline
crowns of innocent smiles
fill all dark with sunshine
wipe out weary miles
o traveler feel the invite
merrily pause to respond
be a while in sunlight
among the lilies of the pond
