With every morning that I wake beside
You, loveliest girl, soft-breathing in your sleep,
I take a moment and watch you, wonder-eyed
And full of joy. These moments have a deep
And penetrating power, enough to bring
Me pleasure and warmth upon the coldest day,
While in my dreams with angel voice they sing
And cheer me through the nights you cannot stay.
And so, my precious girl and greatest bliss,
Since time is not yet pacing at the door,
I’ll sit and watch you sleep a moment more,
And then, at last, when night is almost done,
I’ll whisper your name, awake you with a kiss,
And behold in your eyes the rising of the sun.
