Though I know he loves me, tonight my heart is sad; his kiss was not so wonderful as all the dreams I had.

Let this single hour atone For the theft of all of me

With my singing I can make, a refuge for my spirit's sake; a house of shining words, to be my fragile immortality.

Can I ever know you / Or you know me?

I saw above a sea of hills A solitary planet shine, And there was no one, near or far, to keep the world from being mine.

I thought of you and how you love this beauty, And walking up the long beach all alone I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder As you and I once heard their monotone. Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me The cold and sparkling silver of the sea -- We two will pass through death and ages lengthen Before you hear that sound again with me.

Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings, and children's faces looking up, holding wonder like a cup.
