Oh,  does the blood
that flows  in your veins
warm your heart for  the love of me.
Oh, when I wonder
along a  dark  moon lit  shore
if thoughts of love for me
live within
or  does within your breat
that temple of beauty so pure
live a numb   and nameless
a lump of cold  and loveless ice.
Oh,  lend  ear  to me
to hear  the plea  
" have  mercy  upon  one
such as me".
For  love that  lives
within the heart  of  the soul
lives forever
within an eternal soul.
Oh,  but for one
who never loves
that soul is but a dead
unborn thing
whose eyes shall  never  see
and those ears  shall never hear
and fingers  never feel
for the life of the body
is  but a illusion that quickly passes away
as dust  blowing in the wind.
Oh, let us live
as one eternal soul
in timeless embrace
that  outlives the stars
that  ever  shine
in the high vault of heaven.
