by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson (1878 - 1962)
All night under the moon
Language: English
All night under the moon Plovers are flying Over the dreaming meadows of silvery light, Over the meadows of June Calling and crying, Wandering voices of love in the hush of the night. All night under the moon Love, though we are lying Quietly under the thatch, in the dreaming light Over the meadows of June Together we are flying, Wandering voices of love in the hush of the night.
