Prothalamion revisited

[Tiger the Lion]

thanks, Tiger, Ella.
I have half a mind to throw in a 'shadows' to half-rhyme with 'close' at the expense of 'thronging'....there, I've done it.
@ella - I thought the near / where combo would sound ok, but I guess when / end is more pleasing to the ear.

Shadows is nice sonically, but throngs painted more of a wedding picture for me. You might be able to have your cake and eat it too with "those shadows that throng..." or something like it.
