the architect of fertile valleys  
and rugged mountains raised sky high  
confronts me with a forest alley  
a landscape gentle on the eye

snow glories paint its shallow fences  
and spill onto its sloping walls  
the architect spared no expenses  
to canopy its vaulted halls

could you imagine lovers, strolling  
their essence permeates the air  
the painter, all the more extolling  
the architect -- for they're not there
