Romancing the night
That day in the evening
the stars all shone in the sky
when you were in my arms
and the silent moon watched by;
The shadows in the waters
of trees and bush around
lay motionless and still;
only two heart's beating sound;
And a hush of leaves sometimes
of an air of friendliness;
your black eyes spoke romance
on a flawless pretty face.
I touched your hair; you closed your eyes
O heaven above! How beautiful she is!
Like the morning cirrus
drenched in golden glow,
as your hair fell like a cascade
in a silent night-light flow.
A blink a cost too many
with her eyes in a state of trance
I saw a thousand moons shining
all in a moment's glance.
O night of endless breaths
flow not with the stream away
for my love is yet to kiss Good night
in this tranquil hour of May.
