I have never been in love
You never walked upon the earth
My guardian angel never strove
To bring you gentle to your birth

You never sat on silver sands
Nor made my feelings dive & dance
I never held your floating hands
My heart beheld you in a trance

You never breathed a sleeping sigh
That warmed the air and my bent head
Who stooped to kiss you? no not I
Nor rearranged your sleepstrewn bed

I never saw you in a grin
Enchant your eager boyhood friends
With happy laughter catch within
Your sweetness love that never ends

My darling love you never were
My Life has not been marred by sorrow
Bleak are my days - harsh & severe
And unforgiving my tomorrow

I bless the sun that lights your day
The rain that nourishes the land
The visitor that went away
And left a mountain in the sand

love
forever
