I’d rather have a great desire and passion for you than run my fingers through another's delicate hair

I’d rather have the want of you, always wishing on the faintly glowing stars than have my neck kissed by another's soft lips

I’d rather have the thought of you than all the warm embraces of another love

I’d rather dream of you through my nights and days than have all the glories of the world in which you had no part

I’d rather be with no one than to claim the unknown comfort of any others hand or chest

I’d rather have the hope of you, I’d even rather grope for you than caress another's alien lips

ALONE I WOULD RATHER GO MY WAY THROUGHOUT ETERNITY
