It’s peaceful now. The afternoon is still.
The street is quiet. Voices very dear
Reach up the stairs, caress me like a thrill
From heaven. I am home and you are here.
Who’s my best companion for
An autumn walk by the canal?
Contented with? Couldn’t be more!...
Though I’m under the spell
Of you when young, my life’s best half,
It still may not be well...
