LOST PARADISE

The search in a night began,

As hatred grew in return,

In my heart was a paradise,

Not my eyes could see,

I strived in my wonder.

A love I desired,

Thy hands beckoned to me,

Blindly I felt lonely,

A companion in me lived,

As my eyes saw it not,

The paradise was lost.

Oh beautiful rose,

In my garden you grew,

Soon I saw you fade away,

No thought I had to preserve thee,

For thou vanished to infinity.

My lost paradise concealed,

In my darkest nights it returned,

Love flew like an eagle,

Bliss flowed into my heart,

As we swum and sang along.

The nightingale in my night,

A love like thee so rare,

My loving heart,

My little amazon,

The rose of my garden,

The crown of my lost paradise.

All my heart could say,

Till infinity I love thee,

Hold thy arms and fly,

Always in my heart,

My loving rose,

My beautiful amazon.
