OUT OF MY SONGS
Out of my songs a throne I shall make,
As did the bards of long ago.
My faithful heart for your scepter take;
Like a diadem, my fame shall glow.
That love be our law, I shall implore
My songs will celebrate your day,
Love’s bliss into your soul I’ll pour,
Sweet yearnings in your dreams will play.
To you, the singing birds will fly,
Your feet will tread my blooms of mirth,
When I command the stars on high,
To heavens below we shall change the earth.
For you, I’ll conquer the hearts of men,
I will bring you Eden back again,
My queen I will proclaim you then,
Where-e’er the world extends its reign.
