and if ’twas real, it show’d me no remorse
while it withheld the wistful dreams I kept.
I thought of romance like a chest of gold,
assuming what I gave would e’er be lost;
thus I commanded that my heart grow cold
so I might ne’er incur its heavy cost.
But when at last I saw her visage fair,
my chill’d convictions thaw’d to my relief;
I’m now the heart’s disciple, deep in pray’r
and thoroughly devout in my belief.
No force on earth could ever be applied
to make me, love’s apostle, leave her side.
I know not where this tender love was birth’d,
though I have watch’d it through the seasons grow.
The winter broke to flow’ring o’er the earth
and passion blossom’d in the melting snow.
These summer nights still seem of heat devoid;
the darkness threatens harsh and bitter harm.
And yet, our love doth fill the endless void;
I feel no worry held within thy arms.
There is a gentle warmth in thy embrace
that brings my spirit true romantic bliss;
I’ll reach my hand t’ward thine in hope to trace
each other’s heart with holy palmer’s kiss.
In truth I vow there’s been no better time
than spent with thee, my sweetest Caroline!
