Wouldst thou virtuous be
if we, by chance, were two,
where my compassion doth flow free
in circling starlits about you?
If my heart ne'er again roamed
far afoot, or obliquely run,
and the firmness of my love
is never done, never done?
I know I am quite innocent
in this wantful sphere
as my breath flows straight and true
whether you see joy or slipping tear.
When trepidation strikes
or courage triumphs o’er fearthe earth knows what you mean to me
and what I would through time endure.
When they dig my shallow grave
would you stay, would you stay
until a leaf has alighted on
a love that lived just yesterday?
And when my spirit dwells uponwhere a loving couple lies
would you imagine two so bonded
had been also you and I?

And as my spirit dwells upon

would you imagine that their bond
could have been also you and I?
And if my spirit dwelt anew
where a loving couple lies
would you imagine one from twohad been also you and I?
And when my spirit dwells uponwhere a loving couple lies

As my spirit dwells upon
where a loving couple lies
and it imagines that their bond
had been also you and I?
the earth moves with what you mean to me
and what I would in time endure.
Virtuous wouldst thou be
if we, by chance, were two
if my compassion doth flow free
in circling starlits about you?
If my heart ne'er again roamed
far afoot, or obliquely run
and the firmness of my love
