Autumn Lovesong

True love cannot be bought and sold,
For it is all that it implies:
Substantial, and as certain
     as stars in the skies.
     
For many, true love
     is difficult to find
And, for a few, impossible to hold
     To engrave upon the heart and mind,
Since an ounce of it cannot be bought
With an acorn cup of fairy gold.

Up, up again,
Until the ridge plateau is won,
Our highest level under the sun;
And any way we look, on every side,
We see so high and far,
The moon, the sun and star

Will seem close by our side.

We know that love
     is high and deep and wide.

Up now, where love gone out of bounds
Will let us see
How high, how wide,
     how deep is this eternity

It is no wider than our love is wide,
No deeper than our love is deep,
No taller than our love is true.
Love and eternity can go beyond the sky.
Love and eternity are not too much
For an acorn cup to hold
And the acorn cup can hold
A thimbleful of fairy gold.

True love will never come undone.

It is as big as all
Eternity
And higher than the sun.
