I could see how thou changest
From a girl to a woman mature.
But from all things the strangest
Is thy mind and body's endless lure.
All the time I have known thee
I couldn't resist thy witty charm
And always wanted thee close to me.
O, I have known thee for long,
But I have been keeping my distance.
I thought it right, but 'twas wrong,
'Twas just a block for an able romance.
Thou art in ev'rything I see
Because all this not-quite-reaching-thee
Has driven me now somehow crazy.
Thou wert in the moon so bright,
That flows in the sky beholding me.
Thou wert in the sun's light
That has passed through my life so cloudy.
Thou wert in the swaying trees,
In the singing birds, the gentle winds,
In the holy words and seven seas.
I can feel thee in my heart
When I see people love each other.
If I knew we'd never part
I'd have nothing 'bout what to bother.
Love for me is like a curse:
It is hunting me!
What are the world's lovings worth,
If thou lovest not me?
