Oh Never Let This Night Pass By

Here’s a poignant little poem from long ago, appropriate for today’s theme of love.

The Lovers’ Dream

To smile upon the moonlight stream
And laugh and love was their only dream.
To gaze contently and happ’ly sigh,
No need to fret, to fear or sigh;
Just to feel the night’s soft kiss
That together wrapped their hearts in bliss,
No need to frown, to weep or lie,
For if they did their dream would die,
Their only dream would die.

To share the stars of eternity
And forever love both wild and free;
Forever breezes to be blown
Upon this land their love does own,
And never feel the pain of life
To seal their hearts in weary strife.
Oh never let this night pass by,
For when it does, their dream will die,
Their only dream will die.
