Analysis of Echo
echo shrill of pealing laughter
echo tears of mourning grief
for our spirits live long after
our encounter here so brief.
placid pool of teardrops shimmer
echo long after the rain
and the sunbeams lightly glimmer
dear reflection of our pain.
echo shrill of pealing laughter
echo tears of dying grief
for our spirits live long after
our encounter here so brief.
