O My Annabella

Over the flower-strewn lanes Under the star-studded sky, Walk with me, my beloved, My inspiration, my Annabella. Oh, this soft silence, this silken night This balmy breeze, this soothing moonlight, Come, gather me in thy caressing arms Hence I may forego the cares of the world. Leaving these fastidious mortals behind Across the oceans to a far land Hold my hand, out of love to fashion a new civilization, O my Annabella. Against the mankind God created A world born out of but love, Against dubious wars, a new peace, Against chaos, a supreme harmony. Come, beyond the realm of stars, Across an unfathomed space, On an uninhabited planet Let's begin again, O my Annabella! "Love in a far off place" contest by Frank Herrera
