My Princess Sleeps (poem)
Where does she stroll when sleep sweeps her away
Whose face awaits her there to take her hand
What melodies did we neglect to play
Will wonders there still be at her command
-
All day it seemed she wove our make-believe
Enchanting and enhancing every while
What sacred songs were left up in my sleeve
Such magic lovers’ hearts it would beguile
-
Sleep on my princess ruler of my heart
Enjoy your moments as you have blessed me
What strains remain to keep us two apart
For soon I’ll close my eyes and there you’ll be
-
And in the morning sunlight’s tune will stream
We will rise to continue with our dream
