Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Au Clair De Lune

By the crescent moon above
I dreamt of your embrace, my love
In the moonlight by the sea
We sailed away just you and me
Protected by the clair de lune
A million stars on honeymoon
Enlaced we pledged fidelity
Our hearts teeming with intensity
The moon our witness for eternity

I can't enter this in the contest - it would need to be free verse... Thanks for your lovely visit, Susan.
