The Pleasure of You
December 20, 2012
What is the pleasure of a chair
to the walker weary of the way?
What is the beauty of the fair
to the groom on his wedding day?
I say there's more smiling to be had
when I do walk with you
And there's no more reason to be glad
than when you are in view.
And though these things are rare for me,
like a desert-wandering hermit lone,
or a man deprived of all beauty,
I feel the sun, though it's far-shone.
And if I lose some light in nearness,
you are not lessened in your dearness.
