Green Is My Love
Green is my Love, and all she touches, blossoms!
And from her fingers, golden flecks appear!
Green is my Love, her lips always Truthsaying,
She does not even know the name of Fear!
Green are her Eyes, as dark as moss, as agate…
And from her heart floods forth the Healing heat!
Green was our Love, whene’er Life took her from me
And Green the way on which, Life set our feet!
Green was the night, when came the spiraling winds!
And from them, blew a whistling, like a train!
Green was my strength, when I held her sash, long moments,
But dark swallowed her and tore my heart in twain!
Green my good-bye was, pale, and wan, and thin,
And from my eyes, cold diamonds, frozen, fell…
Green, all I saw, shadows weaving, all about me
That day, I knew the surly name of Hell!
Green were the demons that tried and tried to stop her.
All that they did failed heartily at the end!
Carried her off to the ends of sanity!
Up, up in the sky, where the merciless lightnings bend!
Green is my Love, now all she touches, flowers!
And from her fingers, golden sparks do flow…
Green is my Love, now, lies in her Presence, wither!
And from my Heart, like a lark, she’ll never go!
