My Unknown Lady

By: HYS

It will be many and many days from now
In this dreamland between the oceans
That a creature there lives whom you may not know
By the title of my angel
And my angel lives with no other thought
Than to make me love and be loved.

And this is the reason that, soon from now,
In this dreamland between the oceans,
My angel will bring out of the blue
My beautiful lady
So that my dreams will come true
Shattering blank shadows
Watching us with envy
In this dreamland between the oceans

I am young and my lady is young
In this dreamland between the oceans
But we will love with a love that will be more than love
With a love that the winged creatures of heaven
Will be jealous of.

Our love…
It will be stronger by far than the love
Of many who came before us;
Of those who will come after us.
And neither the angels in heaven alone
Nor the demons down under the ocean
Will ever be able to disengage
My soul from the soul
Of my beautiful lady.

For the sun never shines without making me dream
Of my beautiful lady;
And the moon never shines without making me see
The lovely eyes
Of my beautiful lady.
And so, all night long, I sleep dreaming over
My darling, my darling, my lady,
In my bed here by the window
In midnight by the open window.
