[Dearest, if ever I]

Dearest, if ever I
Had power, like God to make
Something from nothing I should try
To fashion for your sake
From the unheard wind that blows from off the sea
To prove my love some splendid symphony
A song of songs to be
As long as Life may last
Proof of that love I hold for thee.
