How swiftly pass the days of winter light
'Til twilight heralds darkness soon to come.
Cloud crosses high with speed of sparrow's flight
So quickly have you made my heart your home.

I see you standing, shining like the sun
As from an open door you call me in.
My spirit sought its twin; you are that one
Come to me, love, and let our life begin.

Say not that love is fleeting! it remains
When darkness falls, and all the world's in night.
And even in despair the sky contains
A billion pinpoints of pure loving light.

You are my sun and stars, my heart's great joy
You set my soul alight and give it wings.
And in its flight, it pauses to employ
The pen of love to speak of wondrous things.

And as the night awakens to new dawn
I am here, love, and I will not be gone.
