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
Author notes: 4. Grieg's Peace of the Woods painting by Donald Ayres, a British Postwar & Contemporary painter.
