Analysis of You Say I Am into Your Heart
You say I am into your heart;
and sitting on its bough
in your sleep and waking I start
singing sweet love-song now;
and then you ask me, how?
You ask me how I entered there
and how I love-song sing;
o my love, like the swiftest hare
I leap fast and leaping
reached your two eyes; and through your eyes
I entered your heart, Love;
now I live there (for my heart dies
save you) and sing like dove.
