Eden Reclaimed

What happiness I glean from these hours Strolling Eden's garden with you; Severest storms become mild showers, For all tempests are now shared by two Two fraught hearts, weighted down by the chains Of loneliness found each other Amidst the dust of love's remains, Igniting sparks Fate could not smother Drawn together by despair's drear pain, Our hearts met on that rocky cliff; No longer would solitude's rain Overflow and sink our fragile skiff Timeworn remnants of two shattered hearts Reassembled, beating as one; O, what joy, the sum of all parts! Such love's seldom seen under the sun Two frail hearts altered their dismal fate, Love's light now dwells where darkness had been; How blessed was the day that Eden's gate Opened widely and welcomed us in!
