Keep Faith (Diamante)

Love                       I'm
                          Turns cold                autumn's
                         In sun's heat           child, longing
                       Is feathered wax      ripe fruits of joy
                         wreck of faith             to suckle
                           So leaves                 till time
                               Fall                         dies

                                I'm                           Life
                             autumn's                   feed us
                           child, longing            Winter's gall
                         ripe fruits of joy        A temple bare     
                             to suckle                Echoes loud       
                              till time                    prayers
                                 dies                        knell
                                   
                                  Life                        Man
                              Feeds us                  is more
                            Winter's gall            than we tell
                           A temple bare       love is life's rose
                             Echoes loud            for all climes
                                prayers                   O keep
                                  knell                       faith

                                   Man                       Love
                                Is more                  turns cold
                              Than we tell            so leaves fall
                           Love is life's rose     as feathered wax
                              for all climes           in heart's sun
                                  O keep                   dry faith
                                    faith                       cries
