Whispering softly
Whispering softly, enticed by
the rose-amber glow of night;
For a moment, my face is soft,
the moon and I make a fair sight.
The nightingale knows
the place of my repose
beneath the tree where roses
dance with no purpose.
A night owl hoots, breaking the spell,
and stains the night with eerie sound.
I tip-toe past the shadowed hedge,
past sheds ; the moon is still around.
Waiting, waiting for the magic,
the touch of a lunatic thrill,
or a song or a loving thought
from you in the night so still.
