I’ve seen this beauty only twice before;
A radiant splendor greatly Divine.
A fresh vitality that can restore
This Heart anew and bring it forth in line.
To see such beauty twice is rare indeed
And so I never thought to count a third.
Confined to Darkness I did thus concede,
To never more for Beauty write a word.
But then I happened on your eager eyes
Reflecting back the most enchanted Light,
That ever did come down from God’s great sky.
Enlivening my own with fresh new sight.
For where tonight I was a waning glow
On sight of you my heart began to grow.
