A villanelle.

So sure of love and all that it can be
This kiss to celebrate the moment met
That’s why two lovers wept beneath a tree

There all the world if only eyes could see
Was placed there at their feet without regret
So sure of love and all that it can be

Their promises exchanged so preciously
That even passing clouds became beset
That’s why two lovers wept beneath a tree

Secure in trust they let their hearts fly free
Unknowing that the clouds weren’t finished yet
So sure of love and all that it can be

Love’s passions grew and joined the cloudy spree
Into this torrent destiny was set
That’s why two lovers wept beneath a tree

And with each storm they loved more carefully
Their memories will not let them forget
So sure of love and all that it can be
That’s why two lovers wept beneath a tree
