Before you came for me, begging for the light, you left across the sea, the sun made you burn , love you thought was right, asked the ship to turn, formed by mighty deeds, whispered sails at night, you want such terms agreed, parchment sparkles in the urn, a power beyond my sight, three days you let me learn, literacy for all to see, cushioned beneath your thighs, never broken ill at ease, you wailed out your care, love me stay a while, broken torta on your chair, fury in your smile.
