Before sleep
Did you not notice?
Did you weep?
The beauty of a
Closing day.
December stars so
Far away.
The war is over,
We; apart.
I carry mem'ries
In my heart
Of summer's evening,
Blushing night,
Of azure, cloudless,
Endless sight.
Cross the continent,
Fly through space,
Now searching for that
Angel's face.
A darkened valley
Sleeps alone.
December starshine,
Now my own;
And I drift slowly
In the air,
Pass through the night and
Meet her there.
