As thou entrusts thy heart to me

so I my life trust to thy heart,

breathe deep the peace we two shall be.

Let fly the breath to speak thy part.

Thou art my hands and I thy feet,

we know our bounds and choose this feat;

here I take my refuge in thee,

and give thee all refuge in me.

We two vow to love and respect,

to speak what is most beautiful,

to share only what is truthful.

We two vow to love and protect,

to be faithful to the present,

to keep hopeful in each moment.
