“Silhouetted against the vastness of time,
are the written sentiments of many hearts
proclaiming their passionate devotion.”
Should I depart from this life before
you into God’s dear bosom, I'd implore
To be promptly returned to your embrace,
For it is your affections that comfort me
Affecting this tender heart most relevantly
As in my dreams I covet your sweet face,
And I know beyond a doubt that I would
Fight the devil himself and in fact could
Defeat him with a most powerful rage,
And my love for you dear would transcend
The very fabric of time, with no tiring end
As adoringly, I followed you age after age.
