You Who Never Arrived
You who never arrivedin my arms,
Beloved, who were lostfrom the start,
I don't even know what songswould please you
I have given up tryingto recognize you in the surging wave of the nextmoment
You who never arrivedin my arms,
Beloved, who were lostfrom the start,
I don't even know what songswould please you
I have given up tryingto recognize you in the surging wave of the nextmoment
Tossed like a falcon from the hunter's wrist,

OU art no more my bosom's
ND;
Here must the sweet delusion end,
That charm'd my senses many a year,
Who built Thebes of the seven gates
In the books you will find the names of kings
Did the kings haul up the lumps of rock
And Babylon, many times
Bid me to live, and I will live Thy protestant to be;
Or bid me love, and I will give A loving heart to thee
A heart as soft, a heart as kind, A heart as sound and free,
As in the whole world thou canst find, That heart I'll give to...
