So fair to be

Only I
See your eyes so close

Your eyes smile
Though no surprise
For paradise
I’ve found so close to be

I chose
Of all sweetness known

Not shown to passers by
Meanwhile why
With smiling eyes
You catch the mornings night

I froze
Your eyes so close

So close
Only seen by me
Your eyes so close
So close you’re only seen by me

With paradise
We chose

So close to be
With eyes we chose
So close to see
Surprised; you really couldn’t be

I rose
The light there seen in me

Morning sky
She cries; then dries awhile
Shown so found, abounds
Surrounds me with her smile

So close
We chose so fair to be
