MY HUSBAND AND I READ THIS POEM TO EACH OTHER DURING OUR WEDDING CEREMONY. I don’t remember exactly how we did it anymore (I’d have to consult our video), but I believe that one of us read the text outside of parentheses and the other read the text inside parentheses. We might have read part of it in unison, I’m not sure. But it’s an excellent and lovely poem. Full text below:
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is youhere is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
OMG HOW CUTE OF YOUUUU! I love it!
