The moon and stars are making love
The moon and stars are making love tonight –
As grey clouds stretch to shield them from our gaze,
They burn with passion, warmly dripping light,
Entrancing us below their silver rays;
We hear low whispering, see the gentle motion
Of trees and wind entwined in an embrace;
We watch the river, mighty as an ocean,
Thrust its waters in the still lake's face;
Around us frogs and crickets serenade
And birds call to their mates, as man to wife;
A glorious vision's everywhere displayed,
The miracle of life creating life.
My dear, amid this splendour, hear my plea:
If all the world can love, then why not we?
