It is the eighth hour of fog,
yet she still paces around the churchyard
without a hat on her blown tresses;
an autumn cloak rustling beneath a gray cloudscape
that somehow, her eyes wander on,

Underneath arms stretch to touch
The velvet splendor of love

to laze upon the sea shore

one feels a part of heaven
touch the stars caress the moon
