Beneath the Schunnemunk canopy
Wandering thoughts pay no attention to future fate
Through the foliage I fail to see
The cold knife that awaits thee
Subtly waiting for trust displayed
Her love for me by my side it lay
Now in my back a sunken blade
Startled eyes it cannot be
Stirred and mixed my mind lays
Upon thy laurels betwixt malaise
And within a maze a solution strayed
Whilst I search for an answer
Can you take my heart for a while
or at least until I can calculate
What on Earth will keep my smile
Flush with the forest floor
You come to my need
Surrounded by beauty and lore
Here to settle the score
In a handkerchief of yours
Wrapped up, a heart sent to me
