The Long Watch
Frail, delicate, queen of white
Over you I watch tonight
So long have I gazed on your peaceful sleep
Wanting to hand you my heart to keep
I wonder if you knew
It was I who placed by your bed
Flowers still with the morning dew
To adorn your sweet, beautiful head
Words of passionate fire
Thoughts of you feed my desire
I look for a sign from thee
To see if you would accept me
If I could tell you how much to me you mean
Through my nights you fill my dreams
If I could see but one small sign
I would ask you to be mine
With these thoughts burning in my breast
I can but watch over you in your rest
Tonight, careful watch I keep
While at my side you do sleep
