Lena Townsend Poet Romanticism

Tender Night

Beyond the walls of silence
I conquer all fear
Distinguishing the difference
I long to draw him near

The moon that hangs above
Sends out its mellow glow 
The stars are merely guides 
For the path that lay below

He takes me in his arms
Our hearts are on fire 
Sealing our fate with a kiss
Fulfilling every desire

Soft blowing breezes
Like whispers in the wind
Wings of a dove flutter
And this love never ends
