IDYLL

BLUE moon shining and pin.:stars flickering,

Moon path reaching and small waves tumbling Over the sea.

Salt foam hissing and smooth shells tapping, South wind whispering and soft voice singing Over the sea.

White sail filling and slim mast creaking, Keen bows cutting and long wake seething Over the sea.

Gold hair gleaming and grey eyes smiling, Two hearts leaving and two loves joining When you are sailing Over the sea To me.

GOVAN LORD.
