john alden carpenter – her voice lyrics

the wild bee reels from bough to bough
with his furry coat and his gauzy wing
now in a lily+cup, and now
setting a jacinth bell a+swing
in his wandering;
sit closer love: it was here i trow
i made that vow

swore that two lives should be like one
as long as the sea+gull loved the sea
as long as the sunflower sought the sun, ++
it shall be, i said, for eternity
‘twixt you and me!
dear friend, those times are over and done
love’s web is spun
look upward where the poplar trees
sway and sway in the summer air
here in the valley never a breeze
scatters the thistledown, but there
great winds blow fair
from the mighty murmuring mystical seas
and the wave+lashed leas

look upward where the white gull screams
what does it see that we do not see?
is that a star? or the lamp that gleams
on some outward voyaging argosy, ++
ah! can it be
we have lived our lives in a land of dreams!
how sad it seems

sweet, there is nothing left to say
but this, that love is never lost
keen winter stabs the br++sts of may
whose crimson roses burst his frost
ships tempest+tossed
will find a harbour in some bay
and so we may

and there is nothing left to do
but to kiss once again, and part
nay, there is nothing we should rue
i have my beauty, ++ you your art
nay, do not start
one world was not enough for two
like me and you
