Song [My Eye Upon Your Eyes]

Title:     Song [My Eye Upon Your Eyes]
Author: Richard Le Gallienne [More Titles by Le Gallienne]

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.

[The end]
Richard Le Gallienne's poem: Song [my Eye Upon Your Eyes]
