I thought love forever afar;
To like, to want, both always I’d bar,
Yet thee I’ve found; my heart abound.
I have thee now, only star.
For, thou art wonder, thou art light,
Unequalled be thy beauty bright,
As thou proceed, my heart you lead,
O, guide me to the perfect light.
Born was I, both simple and plain.
Not rich, nor smart, just normal, mundane,
With me, you’ll never feel that ever,
You are unloved or in pain.
O, I wonder thou can be so bright,
Thy mind, thy form, thy soul of light,
As thou proceed, my heart you lead,
O, guide me to the perfect light.
I thought not once this you might reply,
I knew at once unworthy was I–
Thy spirit be beyond that of me–
At one glance of the eye.
Thy wonder and thy love be light,
How could thou make my life so bright?
As thou proceed, my heart you lead,
O, guide me to the perfect light.
Yet here thou art; I see of no doom.
The world doth threat an unholy tomb;
Not trying, my fear is dying,
Thy light expels the gloom.
O, for with thou, thou brings the light,
Thou art with me; the future’s bright,
As thou proceed, my heart you lead,
O, guide me to the perfect light.
In times of war, tested is our tie,
Down come the false, and every lie.
Without demur, you still remain pure,
None of your beauty will die.
For, thou art wonder, thou art bright,
Thy mind, thy form, thy soul of light,
As thou proceed, my heart you lead,
O, for thou art the perfect light.
