In soft glowing moonbeams our spirits dance I feel you watch me from a higher place Closing my eye lids into a deep trance Feel your sweet gentle spirit touch my face
How kind and gentle a heart always true Blue eyes will glow and flaxen hair will wave What centuries of time love ne'er knew Will ever be held fast inside a grave
So when a wind gently caress my cheeks I feel your spirit tender touch my lips So precious is a loss a love still seeks Not measured in a cup that always drips
A name on stone says simply Calista Old tune playing 'melodia celeste'

Hi Yankee
This brings to mind images of Orpheus charming the Olympian Gods themselves with his tuneful lyre... Blissful!

PS In Greek myth, Homer always referred to Orpheus and his tuneful lyre...
