Poems by Nancy Johnson
Fair Luna’s river o’er the hill
A glistening sheen the voe
Still silvery waves come stealing in
Sweet whispering as they flow
And kiss the soft bespangled sand
In the alluring light
They with a sigh flow out again
Among the pebbles bright
Come back ye glinting silvery waves
Upon the moonlight tide
We cannot follow said the sands
While ye roam far and wide
But wait upon the silent shore
Between the land and sea
‘Til you flow in to kiss us
O’er and o’er again in glee
Sweet golden sands we’ll come again
Sighed the whispering waves confiding
Though we must mingle on the main
For the moonlight will come gliding
So wait while we roam on the main
for constant we’ll abide
And kiss you o’er and o’er again
upon each moonlight tide
Then au revoir sweet wavelets bright
But never a goodbye
For love is sweetest in moonlight
When the silvery tide flows high.
