I seem to have loved you in numberless forms,
numberless times…
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the
necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in
your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
10
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old
pain,
Its ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you
emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness
of time:
You become an image of what is remembered
forever.
11
 You and I have floated here on the stream that
brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
shared in the same
Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears
of farewell-
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew
forever.
12
 Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its
end in you
The love of all man’s days both past and
forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one
love of ours –
And the songs of every poet past and forever.

forms” and lived in “numberless36times”.

 The love that the
speaker is
experiencing with is
beloved is something
that is of the ages.
47
 The vision of love
experienced right now, in
its current form, but was
something that is indelibly
imprinted in time.
48
The idea of “”age after age” and
the concept of love being
“remade” almost brings to life
that there is a spiritual
connection between the two
lovers.
49
 While the love that is spoken is
specific between two people, it is
reflective of a universal construct
that applies to “million lovers,”
bringing out the idea that the love
shared is in fact, “unending”.
