For You Are My Sun
My fears and hopes are by love intermixed
My heart's eyes are solely on you fixed
I wish to move the stars to write to you
in the sky with letters that say I love you,
so that way you would always remember
me and of the sparks of our hearts' embers
no matter where you are in this world,
for you are my heart's hope, you are my sunset,
the sun I dispaired to see rise from east to my west,
as I dwelled in the darkness, and down the abyss was hurled.
For you are sweeter to me than life,
and are brighter than sunlight.
In my folly I consign myself to love
and its capricious mercy
and to death for me, my dove,
you shall make curtsy,
till we meet again in the other world;
I shall from hades return to meet you, my dear
and claim you to be mine by my rear.
I will love you in the storm
and hope you remain to greet me
upon my return in spring
so that I our love may bring to true form.
