Over field and woodland and dark ravine
My spirit is borne on its pinions fleet,
Til I clasp your hand and our glad eyes meet;
Then we wander away in a glorious dream
And float, and float in a mystical sheen,
To a realm unknown to mortal feet.
We bask in that wonderful region of light,
We are filled and thrilled with love's sweetest tone,
While we drink of a bliss to sense unknown
Oh, what do they know of pure delight,
Whose souls never stretched out their wings in flight
Who never have found and embraced their own?
