When the gentle breeze is dying on a silver summer night,
\nWhen the stars have joined their goddess in a symphony of light,
\nWhen the clouds are barely noticed, like a veil of bright galloon,
\nYou may chance upon a “Lily of the Moon”.<\/p>\n
She was walking through the forest, did not see that I was there,
\nIn a dress of silk or satin, but her tiny feet were bare;
\nTreading softer than a fairy where the shining dew was strewn,
\nAnd as lovely as a Lily of the Moon..<\/p>\n
All I wanted was to meet her, fill her heart with thoughts of love,
\nI was spellbound by her beauty that outshone the sky above
\nI could not have raised a whisper never mind sung out a tune
\nThat was worthy of a Lily of the Moon<\/p>\n
And before I found my senses, found my power to move or speak
\nShe had drifted from the clearing in a mist of sweet mystique.
\nI could no more find my vision than trace one grain in a dune
\nShe had vanished like a Lily of the Moon<\/p>\n
Maybe I was only dreaming when I saw her long ago,
\nIn the forest after midnight by the night’s own magic glow.
\nBut my heart lies on that pathway all the hours from noon till noon
\nHoping I shall find my Lily of the Moon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
