Something Higher - Ela Orleans

Love me sweet with all your art

Feeling, thinking, seeing

Love me in the lightest part

Love me in full being

Love me with your voice that turns

Sudden faint above me

Love me with your blush that burns

When I murmur Love me

Love me with your open youth

In its frank surrender

With the vowing of your mouth

With its silent tender

Through all hopes that keep us brave

Farther off or nigher

Love me for the house and grave

And for something higher

Love me sweet with all your art

Feeling, thinking, seeing

Love me in the lightest part

Love me in full being
