The garden of Eden, I was there
I saw that all it is splendor and grace
I declared while I looked at all the art,
that it was not nearly as beautiful as you
I love you truely
Truely, my dear
And when you die, I will bury my heart
In a chest with a jar of tears
A rose for every hour
we spent together
The petals would cover, the seat of the earth
and stand as high as the moon
A dahlia for every heartbeat shared
Pink chiffrons for every laugh abound
And the joy we shared as we dwelt there
Was greater, none other have known
I love you truely,
Truely my dear
And when you die, I will bury my heart
In a chest with a jar of tears
Flowing fields with poppies to mark
The hour we met in the glenn
And so thus sings the shadow lark
We shall blow together in the wind
Daisys dancing for intimacy
And all the cockscomb dance with glee
And the joy we shared as we dwelt there
Was greater none other have known
I love you truely,
Truely my dear
And when you die, I will bury my heart
In a chest with a jar of tears
Truly evocative and strong. :)
