Jewels of Romance
REMEMBRANCE
Far off, a valley bathed in star-dust met
Our view, and beckoned through the latticed door:
And just beyond, a mountain's silhouette--
The waning moon its golden epaulet.
Night's vast stillness awed me, you sensed my fear,
And pressed me closer in your wondrous arms:
My lips, unbid, sought yours and found them
near--
My soul took fire - then things grow dense
just here.
Dawn came too soon, and with it one regret;
Regret that we could never more be one.
But through the years you must not once forget
That my love for you burns deep within me yet.
