This Lingers On

There are gifts that I have treasured.
One have I with worth unmeasured.
                      One day I turned into a swan.
In poetry, this lingers on.

A young man smiled and gazed my way.
The sun was he, and in his ray
                    I basked as if in light of dawn.
In poetry, this lingers on.

To dulcet eyes that on me shone
and love like I had never known
                     in soft caresses I was drawn.
In poetry, this lingers on.

For his sweet kisses how I yearned
when to his country he returned.
                    Our time was swift and then was gone.
In poetry, this lingers on.
