Until Our Hearts Shall Meet

They say in song it shan't be long
until our hearts shall meet.
And how I pray, most ev'ry day
that God might guide my feet.

For you are fair, beyond compare,
ev'n though my eyes can't see.
You needn't start, for 'tis the heart,
that solves incongruity. 

And I suppose, before we close,
and bind our lives for good,
I long to hear and staunch the fear,
for my own love is understood. 

But do you, darling, know the curse?
Love, sweet love! Better ... or worse.
