China roses

Who can tell me if we have heaven
Who can say the way it should be
Moonlight holly, the Sappho Comet
Angel's tears below a tree

You talk of the break of morning
As you view the new aurora
Cloud in crimson, the key of heaven
One love carved in a cajou.

One told me of china roses
One a thousand nights and one night
Earth's last picture, the end of evening
Hue of indigo and blue

A new moon leads me to
Woods of dreams and I will follow
A new world waits for me
My dream, my way

I know that if I have heaven
There is nothing to desire
Rain and river, a world of wonder
May be paradise to me

I see the sun
I see the stars
