Soft glides the night
 

Soft glides the night on silken wings

Love’s tender spells to cast, to spring

Inspiring lovers, setting scenes

To catch a heart, to forge a dream

To catch a heart, the stage to set

To find love where one least expects

To intercept, stop in one’s tracks

One look and there’s no going back

A smile, a whisper, touch her hair

Glancing fingers stir the air

Tender moments, heart to heart

Dreams for later - after dark

Love is like no other jewel

It sparkles best reflecting truth

Secret signals, tell-tale signs

A bench, a park, a moonlit night

Soft glides the night on silken wings

A starry cloak, a moon stickpin

White gloves, white tie, a calling card

With luck there’s one pinned to your heart
