If Only

If only, if only,

Said the Wolf to the Moon,

I’d be with you always

If only, if only.

If only, if only,

Said the flowers to the bees,

I’d grow with you always

In the tops of the trees.

If only, if only,

Said the Earth to the Sky,

I’d mingle with you evermore

Just you, and I.

If only, if only,

Said Water to Fire,

I could keep myself from harming you,

While quenching my desire.

If only, If only,

Said the Wolf to the Moon,

I’ll call to you always

“If only, if only.”
