When Always I Say
WHEN ALWAYS I SAY
You posed the question,
My dear,
What “always” means
When I say, You,
I love.
Since
Answer unable was
I to give,
My soul that had spoken the word,
I asked and
Instantly
The answer came, from
The depths of depths
Of her heart,
“By always” she said,
“This is what I mean,
To love her:
From dawn till dusk
From January to December
From the cradle to the grave to
The beyond and then to
Dawn again!"
