i spy thee ever changed chameleon
and oh my willful wilding heart
you breathe a want in me
flung high your shimmering fairie dust
dark the lustful longing as it fell
*
soft whisper fine hyperbole
allaying every plan discreet
each other virtuous conduct sweet
fast faded into loveless mist
not hampered by your sensuous kiss
*
cover my grave with heather then
prepare my stone and
pray for me for i have sinned
my inward nature you've sorely pricked
dissolving my resolve lightening quick
*
i would cry out before i die
but my tears are not bespoken
no token of blameless love
but only the heedless care
of the chameleon's mystery of what's not there
