At Last My Heart Sings

'Ere the sun sinks
And thy love falls endless
May this moment pause in beauty
To ponder thy kisses

My scarlet rose of love
Betake my spirit truly
As twilight falls gently
At last my heart sings

Twilight really is a time for contemplation, looking into the horizon, and letting the senses enjoy. I love the title which is repeated in the last line. The silence in the 1st stanza, culminating in a song in the 2nd stanza, though it may just be an "idea" of a song, creates a beautiful and powerful contrast. Thanks.
