The Poetry of Michael Langston


(39) MY BELOVED ONE

I saw her from afar one day,
Beautiful and radiant in the glowing sun.
Unseen I ran along my way,
Unknown to my beloved one.

The sun shone bright upon her hair,
Upon her flowing silken dress
And touched her face, a face so fair,
With a soft and warm caress.

Unheard I whispered, went round a bend,
And left behind where I had run
The words, I love you, in the wind,
Unheard by my beloved one.
