THE MIDNIGHTS SUMMER DREAM

 

TIS NOT WISHES TO BRING

NOR LIVES TO GIVE

THOUGH LASTING AS THEY BE

MERE PRECIOUS THOUGHTS OF WITHDRAWN LOVE

STILL SWIRL IN MEMORY

 

NO MORE DOES THE DAYLIGHT PONDER

NEITHER THE NIGHT OWL GENTLY GLANCE

AT WEAK AND WEARY BODY TOLD

IN MIDNIGHTS SUMMER DANCE

 

THE MIDNIGHTS SUMMER DANCE

OF DREAMS AND WISHES WELL

FOREVER GOTTEN, FOR MORE FORGOTTEN

TO NEVER AGAIN TELL

 

THE MIDNIGHTS SUMMER DANCE

ON HEART STRINGS STRUNG LIKE LAIR

TO NEVER AGAIN BRING THE HEAT

OF MIDNIGHTS SUMMER FIRE

 

THE MIDNIGHTS SUMMER DANCE

HOW WONDERFUL IN THOUGHT

SWEET MEMBRANCE OF HER FRAGRANT CHARMS

THE AGONY THEY HATH BROUGHT

 

THE MIDNIGHTS SUMMER DANCE

THE MIDNIGHTS SUMMER DREAMS

THE MIDNIGHTS SUMMER HEAT

THE MIDNIGHTS MOONLIGHT BEAMS

 

THE MIDNIGHTS SUMMER DANCE

NOW FADED WITH THE GLOW

SO TOO THE WEALTH OF GIFTED LOVE

THAT MAKETH SPIRITS GROW
