What riches lie in being lost in thought,
And in this reverie shift my thoughts to you,
Forgetting all the battles I have fought,
Ensconced within the peace you bring me to;
Then can I smile as you in visions twirl,
And in sweet rapture hold you close to me,
As ‘round the ballroom of my mind we whirl,
Uplifting hearts in joyful frivolity;
There in your eyes I see a precious truth,
And in your voice I hear my whispered name;
Your body’s warmth revives my faded youth,
And fans in me love’s softly waning flame.

What wealth a simple thought of you can bring,
That even heavied heart may romp and sing!
