W.H. Auden, English-born American poet

“Love has no ending / I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you / Till China and Africa meet / And the river jumps over the mountain / And the salmon sing in the street / I’ll love you till the ocean / Is folded and hung up to dry / And the seven stars go squawking / Like geese about the sky.” (from “As I Walked Out One Evening”)
