Wild wishes, too high
      for worldly tries,
Celestial glows that do
     not fit into time and
        place,
  Lost love's tormented
     hopes and cries,
Come with fresh face at
     my dooryard.

   Wild wishes, desires
      that cannot be
         quenched in poor
            world's weak
                arms,
Joys treading my
    footsteps  from
         Heaven above,
    All my loves long ago,
         my sweet heart-felt
             urges,
  Of all I ever seek, of all
      I ever wanted in
         heart,
Beckon to lead me to
     Higher Houses of
        content.

  Wild wishes, her face,
      her eyes, and the
         love I have for her,
Feelings I cannot put
    aside  no matter what,
  The deep-felt dream of
     uniting with her in
         truth,
She comes to me riding
   high on Wild Wishes
        for my  hand!
