She Walked In The Forbidden Place

She walked in the forbidden place –

He - - by her side – none too calm;

Worried he they would come to harm –

Purpose she had set on face;

The beauty of the garden shone –

Walked they in splendid nakedness;

Man with Nature – special oneness ---

Then temptation saw them undone;

Ate they forbidden fruit for shame –

And banished from the garden hence;

Had they now shame and guilty sense --

And each the other could they blame;

And so our flight from innocence –

Gave rise to greed and decadence.
