The Day You Love

Remember and tell me, the day you love

Behind a veil of tears

How dreams as these you dreamt not of

And thought to pass your years

More peaceably than others do

Devoid of common pain

Your own company pleased you

And as you heard complain

Of those small hurts that never heal

And scar their victims deep

You oft proclaimed your heart could feel

No love and sought to keep

Your perfect brow untarnished by

The sorrow you would save

Your perfect lips unvarnished lie

To kiss might thee enslave

Protected are thy limbs. No fear

Of deeds unseemly grasp thee

Directed by thy perfect ear

No words could hope to clasp thee

Indeed thou will not be enshrined

Will honor no man's name

But in disdain you are, you'll find

Enshrined all the same

In your defense, you say not so

When standeth thee accused

Of hatred for mankind, but O

How hast thou been abused

That such a mortal fear could frighten

All your nature wills

So much so that what might enlighten

Passion, pity kills

And cannot bear to look upon

A soul you have enraptured

With cruel haste you bid begone

The fools you have encaptured

Mistake me not, it is unjust

For every lovestruck squire

To claim a heart he hasn't won

But what of your desire?

Can'st thou pretend within thy breast

A beat was ne'er misplaced

And lost somewhere?

Dost thou but jest

To say thou never traced

With trembling fingertips the image

Of a foreign shore

Embarking on a pilgrimage

To where none touched before?

The most deluded eyes could see

Thou harbor'st in thy frame

A store more rich than most should be

In every sense's flame

That thou dost feel, I know it well

That thou dost weep, I'll swear

That thou dost love, I'll live to tell

If thou would only dare

Remember and tell me, the day

You love beyond all this

What truth within my counsel lay

And thank me with a kiss
