We rode to the sunset, I and my shadow, Through distance we glamoured In gold and in gray; My plunder the pearl drops Asleep in the shallows Of all budding flower hearts In petaled array.
We danced in our frolic, I and my shadow, On to the shore lands Where caverns lie deep; I wearied of darkness And fled to the meadow, To leave in each crevice My shadow asleep.
We felt the cool winds rush, I and my shadow, I came with the sunbeams That followed the dawn; The mist veil of shadow Was left for the dreamer, While I rode imprisoned In rays of the sun.
