Through yonder moon light (song)

 

---Through yonder moon-light…

(a lamented-romance song)

 

I’ll dance thee in full moon light

Soft-kiss thee through yon chill night

 

Across yon yellow-heather prairie-swale

Until blue-white sparkle-stars dawn-pale

 

Lament remembered-arms tender-loving embrace

Deserted family for faux-wanderlust on gypsy-trace

 

Viewed yonder awesome soaring-eagle on high above him

Silver-glisten and gold-luster nuggets, I have chased ’em

 

Once King-“I” had it all, a Perfect-family and one fine-home

Failed to appreciate-reciprocate, instead sought a sunset-dome

 

Empty-days! Cold-nights! Alone! Chill-winds to-dream

No value sacred-virtue found; just blank-walls, it-seems

 

Should (cured) I-dare errant-return one day to claim a legacy-lost?

Would-thee remember-me with open-arms; forgive any steep-cost?

 

But, I cannot, for evil-Pride hath surely damned a sinner’s-soul

A “Failure” still! No golden-crown! A chance to shovel-coal?

 

May hot-lightning strike me-bold, if only it would

Knock into this empty-head some sense, it should

Turn me errant-compass true-home, alas, it could

 

Swallow-hard, me foolish-Pride! Saddle my-horse

Fly across the “Divide” to prairie-strike, of course

 

But, “Good”-neighbor Billy has moved right-in

I pray thee married him to avoid any evil-sin

 

He’ll dance thee in full moon light

Soft-kiss thee through yon chill night

 

Across yon yellow-heather prairie-swale

Until blue-white sparkle-stars dawn-pale

 

While lonesome-I:

Lament remembered-arms tender-loving embrace

Deserted family for faux-wanderlust on gypsy-trace
