Poem Title:
Poem
I need more lives for me to live In this universe of beauty; I plan more days to find new ways Of doing freedom's duty. I need not more joy than this For I am life's dear lover; And when I wage to turn the page I'd never want another. The glorious pledge of sunny Spring With sweet June coming after; Bring autumn sighs and summers cries Lost in winter's laughter. With virgin moons and scorching noon’s And stars of a thousand nights; I'd need no heaven if love be given With all its sweet delights. There are many splendors for the eye And such music for the ear; The mind would reel with all to feel And see to touch and hear. There's many ways to spend the days And more to do what's kind; For bread now cast on waters past Returns again I find. There are such gifted souls to know And many more to learn; While a promise rests in earth's warm breast And unknown stars still burn. In six days God made all the earth The bible is known to say; Six lives I need to plant a seed Of love with one for each dear day. But sad if love should fly away Or hide his face from me; Six lives aren’t much if I had such But one’s all that need be. With unhappy May and sorry June Sad dawns and weary night; A sorry world through space was hurled When love had lost her light.
