It will be the longest of summers
Where joy and sadness will merge
Where wholesome in gladness joy grows from pain
And all that was will begin
Threefold and all-onely
Old and new together
Unravelled in unison
This path leads straight
Into the wheel of time
That turns around our love
Each step we take is holy
In solemn delight
And sunshine’s greener chords
Eightfold and all-onely
We have shared much more
Than any speech could hold
When plenitude was everywhere
In the secret kingdom of our heart
Familiar but strange
All gentle and all patient
Together and all-onely
