I knew you once but long ago, When freely fairies roamed the land, And dryads frolicked in the trees - When mortal men and women Were free to love who they chose, And practiced that love freely. When Persephone still caused the seasons to change And poor Echo could still speak her heart. . . Yes, I knew you then. And I want to know you now. For in this modern-day monotony It isn’t often one connects To another with a kindred soul We have to seize these moments, Cherish them while they are still ours. For when the years steal my inspiration, When I have grown slow with age, I want to be able to turn to you And take your hand and say. . . Yes, I knew you then. |
