of my half empty bed. 'your empty side of the' bed' ?
I ponder her shepherd boy, 'ponder ' just doesn't seem like the right word. Maybe something like 'envision' ?
as green as the valleys, a comma instead of a period? Singular 'valley'? I am led to believe that you think there's something happening in that 'valley'- like 'tending to'?
and Tamino, inflamed with love
