The Glowing Star of Hesperus
Just when the summer sun had fully set,
Sending shadows of twilight far and wide—
It seemed about as calm as it could get,
And softly they spoke, walking side by side.
Walking past the trees, they found some shelter,
Which caused the moonlight to look very dim.
He held a single red rose out to her—
Thanking her for all she had been to him.
Now, the evening star was within their view,
And it hung over their heads in the night.
They kept on getting closer—soft wind blew—
And he kissed her gently in the starlight.
There they remained, feeling forever young,
Where the glowing star of Hesperus hung.
