The Empyrean

1

<
Go with me
down this solemn path of life
Go with me
up this hill to view the sea
where otters play.  You, my wife.
I full of dreams--and of strife,
Go with me.

Promise me
It won't end too soon.  Will you
promise me
you'll hold my hand--follow me
if the warm breeze stops?  I have
a place lit with fire for you.
Promise me.

Look at me.
Kiss me on the lips and then look at me.
--Sorry sight, a sight to see:
restless, aching, longing.  When
all to say has been said, then
look at me.

(Love, true Love)
(Love true.  Love)
(Love true Love)
