Fill Up a Scroll
To see your gaze light the firmament
To see your smile lift the sun
It’s your eyes I see as the moon rises
My heart hopes this is love begun
You gaze through the space, do you see me?
I watch in hope forlorn
But my heart I want to give to thee
You are the reason I was born.
My love I can only send
On rolled parchment now to you
My life on you depends
For in truth you love me too
You gaze through the window
I see you every day
You face lights up as I pass
Please speak to me I pray
Although I am of lowly birth
I am rich in love for you
Please grant me a next meeting
And we could start anew.
I will do it right this time
And ask your father’s grace
But we both know it now
Together is our place.
A sign, my love, from where you sit
And gaze each day t’wards me
I promise my life, my love, my name
As I promise to make a wife of thee.
