Song by Dylan Thomas
Love me, not as the dreaming nurses
My falling lungs, nor as the cypress
In his age the lass's clay.
Love me and lift your mask.
Love me, not as the girls of heaven
Their airy lovers, nor the mermaiden
Her salty lovers in the sea.
Love me and lift your mask.
Love me, not as the ruffling pigeon
The tops of trees, nor as the legion
Of the gulls the lip of waves.
Love me and lift your mask.
Love me, as loves the mole his darkness
And the timid deer the tigress:
Hate and fear be your two loves.
Love me and lift your mask.

Although it's cold and snowing there, you keep bringing us your warmth, your spiritual love.
Thank you by the poem.
Kisses with love.
That first pic would make a great postcard!
I love the pictures and the song just seems to go with them. Peaceful and beautiful!
Beautiful words :)
The photographs are giving this sunday an extra dimension!
So peaceful!
Beautiful photos, Allison -- I need to re-read the poem to fully understand it's meaning, however. Those are the kind I like best. :)
Have a wonderful day!
Hmmm. My mask is sometimes very hard to lift. It so often stays fixed firmly in place...
Love that bottom photo...
These pictures are gorgeous!!!
