Analysis of I See You In The Story



I see you in the daisy. I see you in the rose.
I see you in the crazy
and in every pose.

I see you in the harlot. I see you in the role.
I see you in the starlet
and in every soul.

I see you in the weather. I see you in the rain.
I see you in the heather
and in every plain.

I see you in the sunlight. I see you in the moon.
I see you in the delight
and in every swoon.

I see you in the high-sea. I see you in the brook.
I see you in the eye-glee
and in every look.

I see you in the story. I see you in the tale.
I see you in the glory
and in every grail.
