One Night

Love, by moonlight clear we shall meet this night
Near glinting water by the willow tree
Our faces glowing in soft silver light
And for one wild moment in time be free

Of our steady orbit around this earth
And the gravity of our foregone fate
To soar among the stars of our rebirth
To seize our love before it is too late

For you and I have seen how time and chance
Mock quiet patience and make ardor cool
So while our hearts beat, this eve we shall dance
Quick as a rose or long as a jewel
It may last for life or die all too soon
But this night love lives at least one full moon
