Kindle My Love!

Kindle my love, beloved!
My darling, kindle it before
Death takes my breath away
And the celestial vision fades!

I want to see once more
The tenderness! - the splendor! -
The awesome power and mystique! -
Of this universe of ours!

This extraordinary garden
Of enchantment! - this magical realm! -
Whose hidden marvels can be perceived
Only too well when Love is present!
