To her that in my
Dreams once spoke
Sweet words of love
Ever before I woke
And in the waking world
Has love me still
To my stargazing muse
Do I present my will:

Before my birth
Into the world of light
When my life dwelt
Between day and night
Where angels sing
And demons dance in praise
Before time came to haunt
My endless days
When solitude was clean
And friends were few
Before I knew of love
I knew of you

I, a wondering ghost
That roamed the lighted ways
Without a smile
With glance askance, astray
In dreaming form
Ethereal as the moon
You came to me
And you made me swoon
And though time conspired
Against me and my will
My heart knew how to love you
And does still
So wherever you stand
This stormy night
Go now to bed
And turn the gentle light
And in the dark, in slumber
May you see
The love I send
With these few word
To you
From me
