Far across time and far across space
I see you alone, a sad lonely face
Eyes filled with tears, and heart of black pain
Standing midst cold, falling dark rain
How I wish to be with you, walk arm in arm
Tight I would hold you, safe from all harm
Together in darkness, together in strife
Never I would leave you, I give you my life
Pledged far forever, always for you
To keep you in love, all things I would do
Death I would stop, my soul to him pay
So that might you live just one more day
My heart for you always, my soul for you too
All things that I am, because I love youPaine's Poems
