As sun will shine and moon will glow
(A Villanelle)
As sun will shine and moon will glow,
My heart doth sing and sigh anew.
The tides will ever ebb and flow.
My heart, my heart, all sorrow knows
And softly, softly thinks of you.
As sun will shine and moon will glow.
As often as I’ve longed to show
The love I’ve held for no-one new,
The tides will ever ebb and flow.
The spending of our passion slowed
And you, beloved, my love saw true.
As sun will shine and moon will glow.
My love, my love, why must you go
When closely to my heart you drew?
The tides will ever ebb and flow.
Beloved, to whom so long ago,
I fain must make my last adieux.
As sun will shine and moon will glow
The tides will ever ebb and flow.
