Let me watch the sunset in the west

Between high distant peaks deep with snow.

Let me see cool twinkling stars above

Near the silver moon that lovers know.

I would watch the numph-like lacey clouds

Swirl across a summer sky of blue.

I would with my eyes caress a rose

Sparkling with the early morning dew.

Show me the ocean waves as they break

Foamy green o’er coral crisp and white.

Then even through blindness is my fate

I’ll dwell no more in eternal night
