Dark Night Has Bid Me Fair

Dark night has bid me fair, my love
Beneath the stars that shine o'er me
The tender breath of gentle wind
Lifts up my soul to catch the breeze.

Thy sweet caress upon my lips
Come Thou to tempt my heart's desire
A longing touch that holds the warmth
Within the soul a burning fire.

Wince comes the rapture of a tune
Soft spoken song, love's melody
To rise above the gentle winds
Inside the heart's own rhapsody

Burn faithful heart, thy soul refine
Against the scarlet moon tonight
Lift up thy voice in soleum grace
To rest upon the stars so bright.

Tend fair, my love, I see you smile
Inside your eyes a wanton stare
And know that at the close of day
Inside your arms, you'll find me there.
