Take heed, says he, And so shall it be, 'Cause so is exclaimed, In the lines of our palms, To seek and be sought, To love and be loved, A proclamation was heard, From the Heaven's vault, "When your love is true, The hearts shall meet, The souls shall be one, And hence the togetherness, Shall be won", I shall choose to live, A day as your better half, Than a thousand days, Of dying apart, My stride has fastened, Hastened is my pace, Leave open the doors of your abode, My beloved, As you accept me, as your cherished bride....
