Serena's Serenade! Poem by Denis Martindale

Serena's Serenade!



Oh, how blessed are they that hear it,
Serena's serenade,
For whoever stands there near it,
Such beauty shall not fade...
Her charms exude with every note
That glides upon the air,
As if she were the antidote
To loneliness right there...

And shall I dream of her this night
And dance the night away,
Confessing of the pure delight
To see her body sway?
And in that dream, would I propose
And sweep her off her feet,
As if through such a dream love flows
And she makes me complete?

Or should I now confess that love
That swells my heart with joys,
To swear that no girl stands above
My cherished God-blessed choice?
And would she serenade me still
Upon our honeymoon,
Or am I lost in thoughts that thrill,
Too lovesick and too soon?

Perhaps God could extend to me
A serenade for her,
That matched the beauty that I see,
None other to prefer...
Serena, may our songs entwine
In future harmonies,
When I am yours and you are mine,
Each other's heart to please...
