Lift now your dark, kind eyes to mine,
search long and deep within your true st self.
Consider that in me which doth yet shine,
and know ‘tis because I am thine.

Hear these whispered words of wonder…
I am amazed by all you are and do.
In silent moments hear distant thunder,
feel its rumble down and under.

Know, know in that wide, strong heart
that this woman has loved you longer than.
See from fresh perspective what ancient art
this endless passion may impart.

Caress me with your touch so soft.
Let me kiss tender lips I’ve loved so long.
May long-awaited rapture soon come oft,
carry us evermore aloft.
