My love’s lost song alone to her I sang,
each note and chord aloft as wing’ed tears,
that one soft tone fresh from my heartbreak sprang,
might light perchance upon those wanton ears;
There on, to flow, a single salted prayer,
to fall, if chanced, upon that ice bound heart,
bestowed; Its tender, tragic warmth to share,
and prise those bitter hoar struck bonds apart;
Set free, let flow that hotly passioned blood,
and melting, set each frozen vein afire,
to scarlet bloom each ice encrusted bud,
made blossom in that Eden of desire.

And in that garden; Rediscover yet,
love’s tender song must needs be sung duet.
