Lyric: Oscar Wilde

The wild bee reels from bough to bough...
With his furry coat and gauzy wing...

Swore that two lives should be like one,
As long as the sea-gull loves the sea,
As long as the sunflower seeks the sun—
It shall be, I said, for eternity.

Look upward where the poplar trees
Sway and sway in summer breeze.

Love's web is spun, but times have flown,
Sweet, love is never lost alone.
Ships tempest-tossed will find their bay,
And so, my dear, we find our way.

Look upward where the white gull screams,
What does it see that we don't see?
Is that a star? Or the lamp that gleams
On some far voyaging argosy?

Keen winter stabs the breasts of May,
Crimson roses burst his frost away.

Love's web is spun, but times have flown,
Sweet, love is never lost alone.
One world was never enough for two—
But I have my Art, and you your truth.

Nay, do not start—
One world was not enough for two,
Like me and you...
