TOGETHER by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER

First Line: GLORY OF A GOLDEN LIGHT OVER VALE AND HILL
Last Line: FOR IT'S YOU AND I TOGETHER, LOVE, A WHOLE LIFE LONG!

Glory of a golden light over vale and hill,
Daisy-fields a-bending to the swift wind's will,
Summer-sweet in every breath, a bird on every spray, --
And it's you and I together, Dear, the livelong day!

Wonder of a misty moon high above the wood,
Glamour in the valley and our own hearts' blood,
All the breathing dark alive with murmurs of delight, --
And it's you and I together, Sweet, the livelong night!

Win a world or lose a world -- peace or weary strain, --
Summer dawn of joy, or Winter dusk of pain --
Every time I think of you, it's like a lilt of song,
For it's you and I together, Love, a whole life long!
