This moment is a pedestal On which I stand to say What normally I hold within The sanctum of my heart. And so it is impossible For what I feel today To make it into words without The agency of art. I love you, and I've loved you since Before I knew of love. And so your happiness to me Is like a set of wings. I follow from the mountaintops And watch you as you move Into the lifelong mystery That whispers as it sings. Ah, brother! Now, and sister, too!* What worlds you will explore! What long adventure will go on With you as man and wife! And I will cherish both of you Enchanted on the shore, And dance within at every joy That blesses your new life. *Feel free to reverse the order.
