I love you since within my soul’s dark haze, You are a beam of light, so warm and bright, To crush the deepest gloom with your soft rays, And fill my heart with unearthly delight. I love you for your gaze, so crystal clear, Like spring-fed water, fresh and purely spun. Like radiant starlight, constant and sincere, Where false pretenses and vain hopes are none. I love your wisdom, depth of love’s own breath, You know the truths of life and even grave. For tender touch and sweetness of your "death,"* Which I, again, am ready to outbrave. I love your gift, the way you learn to fly! In dreams, like some free bird, you soar above, To build a fairy world beneath the sky, Where I am glad to drown within your love. I love you just because you walk this earth, Because you breathe, and live, and love so true. My life’s great joy is more than any worth, I dream that you will love me just so, too.
