Where Pomegranates Grow

Outside the city where the pomegranates grow
    Stars are agleam as the moon dips low
  And lovers  meet 'neath moonlight's glow
      To share love's caress as their kisses flow

 Beneath the pomegranate tree 
    They taste the flavor of love
 As the seeds of their passion spread
     And the fruit of the tree blushes red 

 When springtime skies are azure
  the pomegranate tree will bloom once more
    But when the night invites the moon
 To play among the stars
  Lovers will meet when the moon dips low 
    Outside the city where the pomegranates grow
                                   ----
