You the smile on my parched lips
You the twinkle in my blank eye
You my joy unbound, abundant
And, you the woe, behind my sigh !
You the starry sky at which I gaze
You the moon at my dark night
You a cup of coffee at my mornings all
You a cover of my soul bright !
You my solace of mid-day leisure
You my evening's pole star
You my glass of burgundy wine
You the wound, behind all my scar !
You my thirst on a sunny hot day
You my first July shower
You my autumn's bare branch
You a bloom of my fragrant bower !
You my love, first and last
You my craving and my want
You the wind below my wings
You my tears, in all my dent !
You my throbbing pulse
You my gust of fresh breath
You are my beautiful life
And you my ultimate truth, my death !
