i love you much (most beautiful darling)

more than anyone on the earth and i like you better than everything in the sky

-sunlight and singing welcome your coming

although winter may be everywhere with such a silence and such a darkness no one can quite begin to guess

(except my life) the true time of year-

and if what calls itself a world should have the luck to hear such singing (or glimpse such sunlight as will leap higher than high through gayer than gayest someone's heart at your each

nearness) everyone certainly would (my most beautiful darling) believe in nothing but love
