If Only...

If only I were the moon

And you the clouds floating in the sky,

Majestic I would have made you,

Glazing with my silver shine…

If only I were the clouds

And you the breeze that blows,

We could have flown together

Away from the earthly throes…

If only I were the breeze

And you the snow-capped hills,

I could have whispered tales so sweet

And brushed your icy frills…

If only I were the hills

And you the ravaging seas,

I could have swept to you through the streams

And touched you in utmost glee…

Alas, I am a stranded stranger

And you a wishful dream,

If only I could, oh, if only

Bring you in my realm!
