Come With Me

Come with me, and in doing so take flight
To that dear land of fancy and delight
A land where we can freely indulge each whim
A land where we can enjoy life to the brim

Come with your enticing form and eyes so bright
Like moonbeams on a placid lake at night
For in so doing freedom I will gain
Freedom from all earthly forms of pain

Come to me now O Love come back in tears
In memories of long lost and finished years
Come to me now in dreams from far above
My very soul I give with all love

Though you are now stone cold in yonder tomb
No longer my fair Love in all your bloom
Enjoying not my presence I so lovingly gave
Enjoy for I am always your faithful slave

And will be to the very end of time
And not just while I'm in my fullest prime
God bless you dear and have no fear
I'll always be in your constant sphere
