Oh, You are such a one
as You can only meet in a thousand lifetimes
such a one who gave birth
to an ancient war
upon Troy's legendary shore
or the one of who the bard wrote
that enslaved the heart
of the Montagues'Β Β fairest flower
Oh, You are as close to Me
as the very breath I take
Oh, I can feel Your heart
beating in My chest
two hearts beating as one
to a single rhythm
as each to each by love do entrance
Oh, our lives are as two rivers
as they meet and flow into one
Oh, I throw all care far away
and caution to the four winds
Oh, let the wild savage wind
carry it where it may
though My inner eye were opened
and I could plainly see
in days to come
as I climbed a gallows
as high as an endless sky
to My certain doom
Oh, I could neither turn left nor right
in My hapless life's plight
by the breath of a hair
though it forever stilled My heart
if by that I knew
from Me You would be forever lost
Oh, You are the one
for which My poor heart beats
for without You
it would beat only in vain
as though it were
some soulless mechanical thing
though I were to pass
ten thousand years
in the same mortal coil
I would never find
one who has your face and arms
arms to hold me
so tightly in your soft embrace
that says in unspoken words
Oh, I love You...I love You... I love You!
forever and evermore
