If I said I want you,
Would you run and tell the stars
To close their eyes and ring dry
The clouds of tears?
If I said let me hold you,
Would the earth crack open,
To shudder the rolling lands,
Not cradle the hatching seeds?
If I said I am yours,
Would your name soon dissolve
And be lost in the revolving
Night that candles you in light?
If I heard your voice,
In twining dream and woke
Beside you talking in your sleep
What would your question be?
If I called your name,
Before the first sunning year
And heard you, Echo in the wind,
Would time guide us to the door?
