First Line: Locate your love, you lose your love
Last Line: And never look away.
Alternate Author Name(s): Morgan, Emanuel
Subject(s): Love


Locate your love, you lose your love,
Find her, you look away;
Now mine I never quite discern,
But trace her every day.

She has a thousand presences,
As surely seen and heard
As birds that hide behind a leaf
Or leaves that hide a bird.

Single your love, you lose your love,
You cloak her face with clay;
Now mine I never quite discern --
And never look away.
