Adrienne! Adrienne!

 

Stranger from another world, traveller in time;

Who are you? Who am I?

Long-awaited wonder, mystery so near;

You are now, you are here!

  

Adrienne, innocent as early Spring;

Adrienne, wisdom is the gift you bring.

 

Gentle inspiration, gaze into my eyes,

In my dark shine your light!

Teach the ones who teach you the miracle of life:

Morning fades into night.

 

Adrienne!  Adrienne!

 

Do we know? Are we wise?

Lifetimes cross, and, pray, our time is right!

 

Adrienne, newer than the breaking dawn;

Adrienne, when I hold you, keep me warm.

 

Innocent reflection, mirror by my side,

Help me know, help me guide.

Now the world's before, now our life begins;

Here, at last, Adrienne!

 

Adrienne! Adrienne!
