Paraphrase

Take back the virgin page, unwritten still
Some hand more calm and sage, your leaf must fill
My thoughts of you are light – dark, you require,
As every word I write turns love to fire

I’ll keep the book – it might my heart renew
When there I look to reclium thoughts of you
Like you, it’s fair and bright – too bright and fair
To let cold anger write one false thought there

I’ll hold your eyes, as from your eyes I roam
Calm thoughts may rise t’ward you, my former home
May fate provide eyes worthy of your meet
With thoughts that shine, not burn you incomplete

So let the words I pen push storms away
From you. My guiding light, within me stay.
