If

If the day was my lady
And the night my wife,
I'd have the sun for a baby
And the moon a afterlife.

If the day was my prayer
And the night my wish,
I'd live every day forever
On heights none could reach.

If the day was my talent
And the night my zest,
I'd never for a time repent
Of all I could do at best.

If the day was my ending
And the night my start,
I'd from the very beginning
Bear its date on my heart.
