Analysis of CARIADLAWN
Christopher Gordon Williams 1953 (Hobart)
In the dark of night
Your memory burns bright.
Even though you're not in sight,
The love in my heart makes it light.
To your side will I come, I must.
Sooner not later, else I turn to dust.
Not rushed, impetuous decision made,
Not only thinking of getting laid.
Informed choice, examining all the options,
Pull out all the stops, Let's have some action.
