It may not always be so...

                      I.M. Paul den Uijl  -   1 maart 2009  


Poem by E.E.Cummings
Song by Mathilda Santing
It may not always be so

and I say that if your lips
which I have loved
should touch another's
and your dear strong fingers clutch
His heart as mine in time 
not far away
if on another's face your sweet hair lay
in such a silence as I know
or such great writing words as
uttering overmuch
stand helplessly before the spirit
at bay


If this should be
I say if this should be
you of my heart
send me a little word
that I may go unto Him
and take His hands
saying, accept all happiness from me
then shall I turn face
and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in
the lost lands
