On the shore, did I dream of wild, red curls

With kindling heat you held my breath aloft

As such, a waltz of love kept safe our world

For one were we, then a thousand years not

Complete and bound with perpetual purls

A pearl-like aurora with auburn plumes

You were one of those girls, warm luring girls,

I looked on and on with unabridged blooms

Then drenched in time on a day abating

Norwegian warmth dispelled my disbelief

While shared accord surprised us, awaiting

The release of your “Yes,” my sure relief

Before a wink of life I sought your hand

In dreams my gaze was inlaid in your plans
