Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Rhyme

Some Passing Tune

SOME PASSING TUNE

Listen, my love, rise from the bed with me . . .
How can you sleep through night's eternity?
You sleep too long, anon our life will break -
now is the time to live, eyes be awake!

Gaze by the window at crystal clear waning moon,
beloved remember nights like this will pass too soon.
Count and watch for winking stars in  the hoary-domed sky;
evening is born of shadows and upon dawn must die.

We are aged yes, but still none too wise,
for we have moonlight, starlight in our eyes!
Caress me dear, be mindless that our time is going
to a secret land that is not beyond our knowing. . .

Come lean your drowsy head against my shoulder.
Hurry, before we are older and the wind grows colder.
Cuddle me, our autumn soon will cease to be -- 
with each passing moment left, ah! be all you are to me!

Awake, my long darling -- to be with you - -
to stay the lengthiest of lifetime through
is much too short, a time to feel, to see
your grave, sweet face held close... held close to me!
