Starflight

"Will you wander with me, love,

in the wonderland of night?"
"I will come if you can take me
to the paths of milky light."

"Close your eyes and I will bear you
swiftly there in soaring flight."
"Hold my hand lest I should fall
and plunge down crumbling slopes of fright."

"See now where the flowers spread
their billion petals for your sight,
and lay their heads before your feet
and bid you kneel in sweet delight."

"They are soft and frail and tender.
Tell me why they shine so bright?"
"Let us lie here where they grow
and wallow in their fleecy white."

"I will follow further still
through the shadows of the night."
