Francis J Grasso Poet Elegy

Notes About The Poem

If

If

If you could dance once more with me
And hear sweet music and to see
The moon, the stars, the deep blue sea
And live once more in ecstasy

To do the things that made you free
Without a fear of what would be
I would give that day to thee
Then sleep beneath the laurel tree
