Sleeping Alone

I lie abed alone at night. I see with only dreaming eye

Through panes, the moon casts silver trace

And shadows form my lover’s face

Beside me now my lover lies

With tender word and warm caress, my love and I make song

Our spirits, souls and bodies twine

I reach to touch this lover mine,

To whom my heart belongs

Outside the moon is bright and clear; a velvet night and deep.

Though beside me empty sheets I find

A warm embrace around me twines,

And my love and I shall sleep.
