A young man looked often upon the stars
Entranced by the moon's light embrace
And dreaming of love that seemed just as far
Long have those wistful days been left behind
He has forgotten his father's face
And far indeed has traveled since that time
Till quite by chance, from a tale grim and old
Sprung forth an unexpected grace
And bore dreams lost in his neglected soul
Clouds break before a familiar moon full
The deep void now but a short space
And fading in a heart finally whole
