Tender beats the heart that whispers
Through the darkness of the night
Ling`ring in the silent shadows
Utt`ring words to yet take flight
In the deepness of my being
Sweet the voice that speaks my name
Murm`ring softly words of beauty
There to set my soul aflame
Filling me with thoughts of wonder
Yet to fix upon the page
In my mind they float like spectres -
Images upon a stage
Still, at times, you find me sleeping
Not to catch your gentle lay
But I then shall hear your telling
Come once more another day
Speak, O speak, my sweet companion
Let not silence take your heart
Ever waiting for your discourse
When I shall your words impart
