May This Moment Ever Glow
A bright moon in a May sky
And the air hung with lilac
From a chimney pot
A blackbird sings
The last song of twilight
Though the air will colder grow
And frost will glaze the garden hoe
And one day it will snow
May this moment ever glow
A summer wood reveals the truth
No beginning, no end, only change
From the treetop
A white admiral glides
To the light on the floor of the glade
Though the cold north wind will blow
And one by one the beach huts go
And one day it will snow
May this moment ever glow
Some days, are full of light
Some days, are hard to bear
Most days, are somewhere, in between
Take them all as gifts
Make of them what you can
A sparrow hit the window pane
Dropped to the ground without a sound
Cupped in your hands
With your sweet breath
It flickered, it fluttered and it flew
Though shadows soon will be cast low
And August seem a long time ago
And one day it will snow
May this moment ever glow
