Pale sunlight fell on leafless trees -
Small birds followed us -
We heard them singing in dark arbours -
Winding paths led to a stilled fountain -
We stood by a sundial under the December sky -
A bearded god's face was etched in the metal of the dial -
A chill wind blew -
A white rose was still in bloom -
Attic windows overlooked empty fields -
Nearby, an elusive soul was held down by marble -
