| My Love,
You are the dawning’s first-born shade of light
The flush of rose invading skies of night
Soft purple hues around the mountain’s edge
The golden casts that touch the canyon’s ledge
You are the morning mist upon the bay
That lifts its curtain to unwrap the day
You are the piercing warmth of silver beams
That wedge their way into my morning dreams
You are the sun, the heat, the light of life
You kiss away the tears of dark and strife
You came into my world and turned around
The bearing of the footpath I was bound
You sailed me on the silver-crested sea
Toward crimson skies and waves that cradled me
When twilight fell upon the sailing ship
Sweet words of love unspoken passed your lip
Then all the stars came out to greet the night
And shrouds of darkness turned to beams of light
You placed among the heaven’s twinkling flames
A starry constellation of my name
And there it shone til dawn’s sweet purple hue
Poured o’er the mountain’s edge in shades of you
You are the splendor I’ve been dreaming of
You’ll always be my one and only love
From your sweetheart
|
