Passion Flowers (Watson)/A Ballad of Love
A Ballad of Love.
Entre Nous.
Each heart has a message for some other heart,
And I have a message for you;
Come nearer, my love, while I whisper the words,
For 'tis sacredly entre nous.
And I have a message for you;
Come nearer, my love, while I whisper the words,
For 'tis sacredly entre nous.
I have sought and found, and my passionate heart
Beats only and ever for you,
And I know that as long as the world shall last
For me 'twill be entre nous.
Beats only and ever for you,
And I know that as long as the world shall last
For me 'twill be entre nous.
And the whole wide world is better for this;
The love that I lavish on you,
It is brighter and purer and fairer because
Of this secret I hold entre nous.
The love that I lavish on you,
It is brighter and purer and fairer because
Of this secret I hold entre nous.
The glory of loving 's the glory of life
(Dearest heart, this my message for you),
And its aureole circles your brow with its light—
This my secret, just entre nous.
(Dearest heart, this my message for you),
And its aureole circles your brow with its light—
This my secret, just entre nous.
I would die in the tilt, like the knights of old,
Or I'd live weary years for you;
Grant a word in reply to my passionate cry—
'Twill be sacredly entre nous.
Or I'd live weary years for you;
Grant a word in reply to my passionate cry—
'Twill be sacredly entre nous.
