And if only they'd perceive the light-- Effervescent as the stars of night-- In these eyes, so ever bright; Then, everyone shall rightly realize The beauty that love can ne'er disguise. And if, simply, they'd seek to achieve A wondrous gift, as the one thou give; Then, more shall be bestowed reprieve From such heart-wrenching melodies-- Those awful, tearful maladies. Ah! My beloved--my enchanting muse! Daren't I proclaim the magical secret That this soul inveigles to keep? The way your presence, in me, imbibes A certain recognition of a kindred soul. "Magical Secret" And if only they'd perceive the light-- Effervescent as the stars of night-- In these eyes, so ever bright; Then, everyone shall rightly realize The beauty that love can ne'er disguise.
