The World Is Bright
The world is bright
and filled with glowing light of day;
the air is clear
and in the forest deer are found,
where scarce a sound
is heard the land around, save song
of living throng
in day's delight.
Epaulia
Our love is like the sunshine on the lawn today;
I awoke, life was good, and all was fair today.
The world cannot bring shadows dark enough to hide
our brilliant love, for we can have no care today,
and fools may laugh, thus known to be but stupid fools,
for morning song is leaping everywhere today;
it could not be otherwise, my love, this light,
for in every place I look, you are there today.
As bright as burning brand, my glowing face shall shine:
reflection from your light is all I wear today.
