I Knew Then

I took the full fruit
Of my love
And held it out to you.

You took it mildly
Eyes downcast
As only you might do.

I took your chin
Within my palm
To lift your face to mine.

I beheld
Your angel eyes
A look within, sublime.

I sat with you
In the rays
Of a golden, setting sun.

You took my hand
And I knew then
Your heart was fairly won.
