I kissed you in slumber my love
When happy in dreams you did roam
With stars all a twinkling above
You made a slight tremulous moan
I stroked your dark hair and you smiled
The smile of a siren at sea
Your visage a darling sweet child’s
I pondered on where you might be
Where do you sojourn my dearest
When moonlight soft swaddles your bed
There shines your innocence clearest
As somewhere in dreamland you tread
Wish upon hope I could join you…
Magnificent castles in air
A shining gold carriage for two
Would jauntily carry us there
Alone in a magical garden
In joy I would break into song
And praising in poetry ardent
I’d sweet serenade you ‘til dawn
At sunrise when you awaken
Sure no one knows where we’ve been
A wink will make your heart quicken
As there of veiled memories you glean
And so in moonlight when sleeping
May I gently take your soft hand
To join you in reveries fleeting
And dance in kaleidoscopes grand!
