To My Beloved
I'll be there with you when the sun goes nova
And fire burns out the planets from the sky;
I'll be there with you when the sea rolls over
And, as it's sleeping, heaves its final sigh;
I'll be there with you by the gushing water,
I'll be there with you by volcanic dust,
I'll be there with you, O the heaven's daughter,
When there is nothing left on earth to last.
I love you with the fire of my being
I love you with eternity in me
I love you fully and when I am dreaming
I love you more completely still - I see
Your tender spirit and your evanescence
The gorgeous passion of your beating heart,
Your precious beauty and the true quintessence
Of life within you, that no force can part,
I'll love you till the fire burns out its ember
And if we ever have to say goodbye
Remember me; and also please remember
I'll love you more completely when I die.
