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!
