Leaving Poem by sammie kelley

The night is soft and shining
A pale moon sheds its beams
I sit and watch you sleeping
You dream your silver dreams
You sleep in misty moonlight
Your brow serene and fair
Your eyes are closed in slumber
The pale moon glides your hair
Tomorrow I'll be leaving
Before the rosy dawn
When bright sun beams awake you
You'll know that I am gone
I can no longer love you
Although to me you'd cleave
I'll play the part no longer
No more can I deceive
I'm sorry I must hurt you
Yet glad that I can go
To live my own life fully
With one who loves me so
Tomorrow night the moonbeams
Will frolic wild and free
I'll dwell with my beloved
Throughout eternity...
