Song
My eye upon your eyes - So was I born, One far-off day in Paradise, A summer morn; I had not lived till then, But, wildered, went, Like other wandering men, Nor what Life meant Knew I till then. My hand within your hand - So would I live, Nor would I ask to understand Why God did give Your loveliness to me, But I would pray Worthier of it to be, By night and day, Unworthy me! My heart upon your heart - So would I die, I cannot think that God will part Us, you and I; The work he did undo, That summer morn; I lived, and would die too, Where I was born, Beloved, in you.
