Tender notes
harmonic echoes
ancient myth
a specter
half man, half goat, pan-piping
a Faunus named Pan.

Where fairies
dance and play all day
Pan pipes his
lovely songs
ethereal, images
display in moonlight.

Fleeting scenes
woodland dreams play out
greenwood stage
moonlights play
a mythic operetta
in night lit gardens.

Moonlight symphony, and stars in the heavens
A magic overture of a lovers haven
A concerto of warmth and complete passion
An operatic sensation of passions fire

The opus of the rose permeates the air
The magical grandioso that takes me there
Come to me my lover of impromptu
And seal our operetta with a kiss

Serenade me with a vivace moan
A concert of love to call my own
A tender adagio, an expressive glance
Only you, my one true love, can entice me to dance...
