O Luar da Noite

Moonlight Shining
by Lelly John

Moonlight shining on my pillow
As I lay asleep
Is your skin, new fallen snow
It rests upon my cheek
The shooting stars that are your eyes
Dance and glimmer just for me
The cool and quiet night is wise
With you, O night, I flee
In my world of ancient dreams
That have been dreamt before
My love for you, O mortal, seems
Another ancient door
People love for days and nights
And shall forever care
But you, my heart, eternally white
No other love compare.
