Love's devotion

Standing here inside the park,
the night is here,
the sky is dark,
the moon is out,
the stars are there,
and I am sat upon a stair.

Waiting here,
I'm all alone,
I wait for you:
you never said that you'd be there,
but then again nor had I.

I looked about me,
no ones near,
rain was falling,
I shed a tear.

I laughed aloud at my idea,
to await you here,
on the chance that you should come.

As I had left,
I could have no idea...

...that you had come, awaiting me.
