Dearest Love

I saw your face,
Shadows of the morning cleared,
I knew that suddenly 
The world had dropped away.

Somewhere in space
Some new lovely star appeared,
To rule our destiny 
For ever and a day.

I knew, the moment I touched your 
hand,
The Gods had planned 
Our meeting.

Now, in this instant in the whole of Time
Our lovers' rhyme 
Is near completing.

I saw you turn away, and for a while
My poor heart drooped and faltered;
And then I saw your strange elusive smile,
And all my life was altered.

My dearest dear, 
For evermore,
The happiness we've waited for
At last is here…
Dearest Love, 
Now that I've found you
The stars change in the sky
Every song is new,
Every note is true,
Sorrows like the clouds go sailing by.
Here, my love, 
Magic has bound you
To me—ever to be
In my heart supreme,
Dearer than my dearest dream,
The only love for me!
