Silver lace spun cross the sky
Pierced by Luna's blazing eye...
Goodbye my friend, nothing remains
I fled from you on speeding trains...
By Newport's waters, I once met
A fair maid on the windy beach...
Take this path unto the sea
Neath bright clouds, chalcedony...
I recall now the colored shells
Strewn cross the beach of Sanibel...
Distant lover,
Cast your mournful spell across the evening's cold...
Fair Luna of the midnight sky
Omniscient pearl that brightly gleams...
Of distant dreams that call in the silence of...
Their resonance in tropic humidity...
Desert star of melting silver,
Gleaming through the clouds...
On rails of steel, I flew away
O'er deep green swamp and windy bay...
Ring of green round melting pearl
Fountain streams up to the sky...
Worn coral paths of history
Wind gently neath the evening shadows...
