Carpe Noctem
My love and I shall dance the night
Beneath the stormy sky
Before the moons more vagrant gaze
Its piercing crystal eye
We'll wile the waning hours till
The morning sheds her light
When sunshine takes the shadowed earth
Into her steely vice
Then with heads thrown back in bubbling mirth
We'll slip into the trees
And lay us down among the wood
Amidst the sweeping breeze
Sleep will come with sheltering grace
Among the greenery
And take us both away from here
So far across the sea
To follow moon in her pursuit
As she sweeps across the earth
The light now shining on Gaeas face
True measure of her worth
When at last she rounds the mounts
The trees reach up their limbs
Embracing firm the chilling glow
As the suns pale light yet dims
Never more shall the two of us
Be caught by dawns new light
Aband'ning sun for velvety night
Finding daylight all too bright
For night is that which lovers know
The midnight hours held dear
And in the arms of true love found
The night can hold no fear
The night is that which dreamers see
The visions coming fast
And in the hours of peaceful sleep
The happiness can last
Then from the earth my love and I
Shall rise from slumber sweet
Twining hands and dancing meet
Gayly singing at her feet
The wild creates its own swift beat
We are the both of us once more complete
