Silvery step and voice of a lark
Complexion of stars, all fire and ice
Not half as tender, nor half so wise
As the shimmering sea that enfolds the pale light
With day into twilight and that into night
Light-feathered sky floating above me
Oh to find someone trustworthy to love me!
Sleek and wistful, with hair made of dew
Patient and graceful, with a heart that is true
My eyes speak of rapture, my body of pain
My heart has felt sadness I cannot explain
But I know this to be with the one I hold dear
You never were further, yet never so near
Come close, with a secret to the one I adore
You are all that I stand for, and with you I am more
Than this body you see. afloat in the sky
I come down to earth, to kiss you good-bye
