In her veil of soft galloon
\nby cricketjeff on August 3, 2009.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nI am whispering a love-song to my friend the silver moon
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And she promises to whisper it to you
\nIn her whitest Summer dress and in a veil of soft galloon
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 She’ll be etched against the bed of midnight blue
\nBut the beauty of my love-song needs to far outstrip the sight
\nOf the Moon and all her sisters as they dance across the night<\/p>\n
I am teaching her the nuance and the tones she should adopt
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 As she whispers what I’m feeling in your mind
\nIn a river of emotion that I know can not be stopped
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 She will tell you of the dreams I hope to find
\nBut the words that I have taught her cannot in the least degree
\nMatch the beauty of the lady that I’ve asked the moon to see<\/p>\n
I am handing out the song sheets to the stars the moon admires
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 They will sing to you the chorus of my song
\nYou will see my gentle music raining from these stellar fires
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And I hope to teach your heart to sing along
\nBut these rich immortal allies cannot tell you all I feel
\nFor the song that I am singing is a lover’s mute appeal<\/p>\n
When I’m lost tonight in dreaming she’ll be hanging in your skies
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And the song will find its way into your heart
\nI’ll be sitting on the moonbeams and I’ll see with my own eyes
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 If you’ve felt the gentle pressure of my art
\nFor I’ve whispered such a love song to our friend the silver moon
\nAs she dances through the heavens in her veil of soft galloon<\/p>\n

\nGalloon is a form of lace often containing silver or gold thread, and the
\nMoon’s veil tonight definitely has some silver thread in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
