I Shall Always

Dare not within darkness let our love bay
     tend not in woe of our days that are done
fight wet hot tears and in bed do not stay
     rise up glad knowing that we are still one.
Let this day dally long languish slow soar
     sing old sun’s glory as it strays sure high
sing so content softly pen our sweet score
     my love oh my love in absence won’t die!
Always true that swift rivers reach the sea
     somber white moon quiet crosses the sky
winter each year allows snow to fall free
     to my cold death I shall always soft sigh
Blessed and true I am grateful each day
That such a love as you had come my way.

This is REALLY very good Lavasseur. It is from your own mind, obviously, but brings to mind a laureate from the past.
