That Night
Had courage been concealed that night
When I could but yield at the sight
Of your tender eyes and lovely lips
That pushed me miles along waves in ships…
Had courage failed to keep its way
When despite my fear I heard you say
A few words to comfort me
That I then thought would set me free…
Does courage melt as it did then?
With the warmth of your touch behind the curtain,
You clove after coming closer
Keeping tears and a heart to solder…
