Amore Immortale

See, I may write a thousand rhymes
    With my lyrical tranquil art,
And weave thy name on threads of time
    To melt thy ardent heart.

To please thy tender heart, my dear,
    I may sing a thousand songs,
That soothe for aye each trembling tear
    And heal the antique wrongs.

But neither the lines nor melodic grace
    Of saccharine songs in tune,
Can ever depict thy occult face
    Beneath the idyllic moon.

And neither the words nor lyrical charms
    In the waves of rhythmic sea,
Can ever express the love that comes
    From me and goes to thee.

For it seems that I have loved to thee
    In countless modes and ways,
And we love with a love greater than we
    Which is beyond the nights and days.

Which is beyond the diurnal moves, my dear,
    Of this seraphic baffling Sphere;
A love so young, a love so true
    After thousand mystic years.

And it seems that all the potions deep
    In the Earth's eternal sea,
Carry for aye my secret ship
    In the magic shores of thee.

For in every star and every place
    And every lyrical line,
I find thy tranquil mystic face
    Ere the eyes of mine.

And with every breath and every beat,
    In every purple year;
Through echoing woods and echoing streets
    Thy silent voice I hear.

And thy fragrance so slow unfurls
    The secrets of my breast,
Like gilded stones and sparkling pearls
    As keys open the chests.

And it seems that I have loved to thee,
    Yeah loved forever high!
For thousand moons and thousand springs
    Under the endless sky.

And we have danced hand in hand
    Amidst a thousand hearts,
And promised to straighten every bend
    And never ever to part.

So kiss to me, my fragrant rose,
    The melody of my soul;
Let us break the chains of woes
    And blend for aye as whole.

And lock for aye our virgin blood
    With the iron gates of trust,
And sing forever, O sweet bird
    With the hot rhythms of lust.

And neither death nor evil powers
    Will dare to part our hearts,
For our love shall live in sacred flowers
    Immortalized by arts!
