LOVE SONG, by                    
First Line: My place is with my darling where she lies
Last Line: I hear her cry my name aloud, and weep.


My place is with my darling where she lies
And gravely muses in the twilight hour,
My lady with the dewy-lidded eyes
And lips that curve like petals of a flower.
Love lies upon her mouth and on her fingers
And on her bosom joy itself was born,
My heart is with my darling where she lingers
And I would sing her praises night and morn.

Time laughs at me, for I am lost in space
And borne through worlds that neither know nor care,
But I can close my eyes and see her face
And know again the fragrance of her hair.
My place is with my lovely One. In sleep
I hear her cry my name aloud, and weep.
