The first time I saw you I was on the bridge
You were looking towards the ocean far below
The sun was setting behind a western ridge
And you looked glorious in the evening glow
I stood there frozen reluctant to recede
Wishing I had wings to be by your side
But mortal men to fly has not been decreed
No more than can we men ever stop the tide
By the time I climbed down to the seashore
The scene down there was just as I had feared
No chance for introduction or rapport
The sun and you had already disappeared
That image has remained within my soul
Many lonely years so sadly gone and spent
The scene I often times remember and extol
I do not even have a snapshot to augment
