Lights

I'D seen the golden sunlight robe The world with splendor rare; I only knew its gladness when I saw it in your hair. I'd watched the moonlight kiss the sea And bathe the sleeping land; I only knew its beauty when It gleamed upon your hand.

I'd seen the faint, wan starlight work Its miracle of grace; I only knew its softness when It shone upon your face. I'd watched the lovelight dawn with smiles, I'd watched it pale with sighs; I only knew its sweetness when I found it in your eyes. -3em
