said she would take her time, and I said fine with me
For if we were to be as one,
Two small stars in a bright universe,
must both tread softly at first
To walk on to the fountain of life,
to ease our aching thirst
And so we walked on across the plain,
it was neither too hot or too cold
And soon with gathering confidence,
we thought to see our goal
Purple distance mountains lay,
no soon er than did we reach
An d smiling struggled to the top,
Come, tender love, and ease the cold
But bite's where love lies sleepin'
And grace will move my hands to rest
To help me where I'm faltering
There below, where we must tread,
Things that would soon come to pass,
The rocks and slopes well strewn with
hopes of others who had dealt
An d foolishly she did go on
without me down that track
For I had tried, my paces took,
and then had to turn back
She said she would take her time,
For if we were to be as one,
Two small stars in a bright universe,
must both tread softly at first
To ease our aching thirst
