Under moonlit sky, tender is the embrace of loving kind
Often nightly still, lingers long in shadows we often find
Hidden distant songs, slowly fade as nearby creatures call
Valley lying near, echoes all it hears in evening natures hall

Timid passions rise, inside two hearts sharing as one
Virtues closely held, tempted are delights not to be undone
Heeded spoken words, subdue loves desire of taunting spell
Savor moments now, enhance the time we preserve so well

Amid shadowed veil, beneath the sky hushing all our fears
Truly fortune smiles, vowing at alter grand forever my dear
Beloved gather here, mothers weep for children taken away
Marital nuptials done, setting of sun sees ending of a day

Under moonlit sky, tender is the embrace of loving kind
Within nightly still, passions no longer are subdued we find
Virtues closely held, preserved and longing are savored well
Timid passions rise, enhance loves desires and taunting spell
