You¡¯re nearer, than my head is to my pillow,
|
Nearer, than the wind is to the willow.
|
Dearer, than the rain is to the earth below,
|
Precious as the sun to the things that grow.
|
You¡¯re nearer, than the ivy to the wall is,
|
Nearer, than the winter to the fall is.
|
Leave me, but when you¡¯re away, you¡¯ll know,
|
You¡¯re nearer, for I love you so!
