Upon sleepy creek she rests
calm water dull august noon
memory are now all the crests
riding the waves in the moon!
Sailed the lunar breeze pearly sea
swam wispy phosphorescent gleam
when the night sang a lullaby
stars wove a blanket of dream!
Held her heart all the lovers’ trance
stolen kiss blown in the wind
on her breast joyous feet’s dance
tears of romance fallen ruined!
August noon resting weary
spins a sea for her to retrace
must find her way the ferry
to be lost in the waves’ embrace!
