Earth
Earth!
If this love strong and true
is too heavy for you
too heavy for you to carry,
then a blue butterfly
that quickly passed my lover's eye
is more eternal than you.

Ocean!
If your waves come to steal
all this passion that I feel
and sink it to the coldest bottom,
then a tiny loving breath
from my body made for death
has got more power than you

Heaven!
If I don't find my love
inside you up above
protected behind your doorways,
Then the wonders that you hold,
all the beauty and the gold
may rest in peace without me
