There is a mountain somewhere near The harbor of our love Where I can go sometimes to view Our marriage from above. I see the vastness of the sea Outside our sheltered bay, With boats like toys upon the flat Bare corrugated gray. I see the shadows of the clouds, An archipelago That neither wind nor current breaks, Nor charts of sea depths show. I see the green of nearby hills, The gardens on our land, The cultivated wildness Of nature shaped by hand. I see the waves sweep up against The rocks upon our shore, The white spume leaping, oh, so slow; The heart awaiting more. And all the peace of happiness And passion sharp for life Come slanting bright across the sky Because you are my wife.
