What hungers for your affection?
Looks toward the crescent moon
And makes wishes for the other
Till there is nothing left to give

What makes a smile grow strong?
Within a furrow of growth
With clear water wrung free
From a gentle, giving soul

For under the stars you sit
A rainbow upon your shoulders
Love everlasting, inviolable as night
And as deep as angels sleep

You hide in the indigo night?
Calling me ever onward?
Is the spirit of you; your hand
Framed in moonlight, beckons

Faltering I stretch out my hand
For even in the dark alone
Amid the howling of wolves
I do not feel fear or doubt

Warmed by the rays of the sun
Breaking upon a green world
What waits in highest cloud?
That bestrides the dawn?

We are alike, two souls flying
Free on a wind of change
That keens and bears us
Upward toward eternity; we the

Foundlings who cried lonely tears
And the universe listened
See now the stars fly by so fast
As your hand holds mine always
