I kissed you in slumber my love
When you in pure sweet dreams did roam
With stars all a twinkling above
You made a soft tremulous moan
I stroked your dark hair and you smiled
The smile of a siren at sea
Your visage as soft as a child’s
I pondered on where you might be
Where do you sojourn my dearest
When moonlight so 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 soft serenade you ‘til dawn
At sunrise when you awaken
Sure no one knows where you’ve been
A wink will make your heart quicken
As there of fond memories you glean
And so in moonlight when sleeping
May I gently take your slight hand
To join you in reveries fleeting
And dance in kaleidoscopes grand!
