Dancing

Allen Watkins

Triolet
While dancing on the moon at night  
At least in thought my love I see        
We glide across the treeless height
While dancing on the moon at night
Bathed forever in silver light              
As hand in hand you waltz with me
While dancing on the moon at night
At least in thought my love I see

About this poem
