Love From Above
How could I have found in you a divine love?
If you weren’t sent from above
Your heart and eyes: pure like the dove
Set my whole life ablaze on a sacred stove
I found thee higher than the trees in the forest
In thee I have my good better and better, best
You fly my whole heart to comfort’s crest
Thank God you are mine, like a child owns his mother’s breast
In thy face I see the boldness and blackness that’s surest
Of all the flowers that I’ve seen, you’re the finest
Of all the towers in my street, yours’ the highest
Of all the stars in my simple sky, you are the brightest
Do not leave my soul or you’ll tear me apart
Keep me always in your mind in the crest of your heart
Pledge to me your honesty, honor, height and heart
- I will always be thine and nothing will do us part
