You were more than just a dream
That comes in the middle of the night,
And more than just a flower
That withers at the end of the day…
You were more than just a woman
That leaves like the stars at dawn,
And more than just a sweet desire
That only stirs a smile of yesterday…
A beautiful face and a beautiful heart,
A wonderful charm and wonderful grace
A special blend and a special part-
Of local strain and of a higher place…
A thing not seen since holy paradise
Was barred from fallen enterprise:
You are the love of all the love I know:
The sinless heart, the arrow and the bow…
