Although the night divides us
And I am far from you,
You do have one companion,
The moon, within your view.
Serene she glows above you
And watches while you sleep,
I tell her that I love you,
Imploring that she keep
Her gentle hand upon you
And bathe you in her light
Until the sun, returning,
Restores you to my sight,
My love, my gentle fire,
My joy and my desire.
