Approaching ever on a winged horse
Like yours
And bringing me a living star,
Like this they have all come to me
And have all left me,
All but the beloved stranger.

And it is you this time
Who are the beloved stranger,
And I would have you lean near to me,
Before you leave me,
As the others have all left me,
All but the beloved stranger
Who will never leave me,
Approaching ever
On a winged horse,
Like yours,
Bringing me a living star —
