Look at the rainbow,
It spreads its shadow in double.
I wish I could drag it down,
And superbly print your name.
So that the world would gaze.
At the love that we share.
Hey- peep at the moon,
It will smile soon.
My heart so desires,
To drag it down,
And give it to you, a gift,
For the joy you’ve given me.
Come out late at night.
There stands the North star,
It stands so far.
I wish we could ascend,
To nurture love for our desires.
Mine diamonds for adornment,
Alone and contented.
I wish dear to struggle,
Day and night on this heath,
Till your name is printed,
On the rainbow,
Till the moon is in your hands.
And the star diamonds,
Are glittering around your hips.
