The Lovers Moon

Their eyes did set, foretaste the sweetest moon.
A chalice sip of mead, the lover’s moon.

Her reddest lips upon his lips in tune.
A chalice sip of mead, the lover’s moon.

The shuffling feet - a dance - the closest swoon.
A chalice sip of mead, the lover’s moon.

In brilliant light, betrothal by la lune.
A chalice sip of mead, the lover’s moon.

His vows arrest his heart — best bride of June.
A chalice sip of mead, the lover’s moon.

His Lily wife — la-la rose petals strewn.
A chalice sip of mead, the lover’s moon.
