If I’ll Have You Poem by Cameron Gallant

Dear Love, dear love of mine
Your face is perfect, you are so fine
Dear Love, one let us be
In response to the painted sea

Dear Love, everything’s yours
My wealth, my home, and through the doors
Dear Love, the golden trees
The autumn ferns and plum spiced breeze

My dear, the desert rain
The gracious stalks, of plants in plain
My dear, my heart and soul
All majestic, stunning atoll

My dear, my darling love
Now to me come, dear gentle dove
My dear, the sky is blue
We’ll have it all if I’ll have you
