| Song: To Become Each Other... Robert Graves... |
|
To love you truly I must become you, And so to love you I must leave behind All that was not you: All jeweled phantoms All fabrications Of a jealous mind. |
|
For a man and woman To become each other Is far less hard Than would seem to be: An eternal serpent With eyes of emerald Stands curled around This blossoming tree. |
|
Though I seem old As a castle turret And you as young As the grass beneath It is no great task To become each other Where nothing honest Goes in fear of death. |
