Harmony {e A Poe Tribute} Poem by Terry Deal

It was very many a year ago,
In a country by the sea,
That a dragon there lived, whom you may know
By the name of sweet Harmony
And this dragon she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was s'old, she not thirty three
In this country by the sea

But we loved with a love that was more than love
I and my sweet Harmony
With a love, so that angels in heaven above
Adored her and me
And this was the reason, that long ago,
In this country by the sea
That an angel flew from high, warning
The oh so beautiful Harmony
That my age-old elders would come
To take me away from she
In this country by the sea.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those said, far wiser than we
And neither jealous ones, without true love
Nor the demons down under ‘our sea'
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the so beautiful Harmony,
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the so beautiful Harmony

With time on my side, I will wait for the right tide
To send sweet Harmony to me
To be ever by the side, of heavens bride
With my heart to her heart and my soul to her soul
Is my idea of, perfect eternity
Now many a long year, waiting for souls-ease tide
Has just brought to my side, with eyes happy and wide
The oh so beautiful Harmony
For angels never fly, without passing us by
And they never say grace, without seeing the face
Of the so beautiful Harmony

Now as I lay at the side, of my beautiful bride
On high, far from the country by sea
I thank god and the tide, for bringing my bride
This wonderful woman, Harmony
Although stars may go hiss, and galaxies just kiss
They never lose heat, without kissing the sweet
And oh so beautiful harmony
Never will angels say, that I do not so pray
That I'll ever cherish, a love that can't perish
For the so beautiful Harmony

It's not so many a day ago,
In a country by the sea,
A dragon's been re-born, whom you may know
By the name of sweet Harmony
And this dragon was just made, with all heavens pure love
And the love, shared by her and me
In the space from meeting, and her sweet hands greeting
An eternity has just past, in a time so fleeting
Just loving beautiful Harmony
From a world that was torn, a new woman is born
To her I have leaning, she gives my life meaning
The oh so beautiful Harmony
