Unabridged

Perchance, if I could parts of life erase,

by careful choice select the times to keep,

I’d treasure love’s long walks on sunny days,

and cast aside the shade where I did weep

 upon the morn you closed your eyes to mine,

forsaking me to chase a wanton breeze;

negate the lapse between my heart and thine,

to hold the nights we lay entwined with ease.

 

But if this gift bestowed I choose to wield,

to moor thy heart and gently clip thy wing,

I ask, in time, would wretched fate be sealed,

as I, unmeant,  forbade thy soul to sing?

 

Speak fondly to me from thy heart’s refrain,

that I may know my love was ne’er in vain.
