ELUSIVE LOVE

Precious Love I beckon thee
In the soothing balm of sleep
Caress my heart envelope me
On moonbeams gently creep

Come to me this blessed night
As a hand inside a glove
Fill my dreams with thoughts of you
Come swiftly to me Love

Chase my ears with streaming tunes
Of demulcent tranquil score
Fill mine eyes with stars and moons
In harmonic metaphor

Come to me tonight Sweet Love
Lest I should dream in vain
Fill my essence from above
Lest I should go insane

Without your power I am lost
To a bitter endless night
So come to me this tempest tossed
And fill me with your might

Quench my thirst I beg of thee
For I am dry as the desert sand
Without you there beside me
To hold my trembling hand

Have mercy on me Love
Sprout wings and fly my way
Or I swear by the stars above
I shall not last another day
