Claire

My dearest darling, oh, do not frown
like rain on softened soil sleep

Your gentleness is what you crown

and possess such beauty through and deep

Your eyes, like the sky yet pine trees stand

and your smile subsides my every thought

Your words, my truth, and you command

my heart beat, my soul, and all I sought

Like water crisp and clear as day

your auburn locks lay live and calm

And if my happiness falls astray

your voice will act as my own psalm

So breathe and fill those hearts with light

for I have gained its fullness filled

My love was blind but you gave it sight

and aged like wine as it distilled
