The moon, shining ever so bright

    Bathes the land in bitter cold light;

Ghostly shadows moving around

    Pacing their dance over the ground.

Their feet move, dancing on air

    Light gleaming off bodies so bare;

Around and around they quickly twirl

    Bodies entwined they whirl and whirl.

Haunting music drives their step

    Songs written with promises all un-kept;

Unearthly melodies filling the night

    Keeping the beat, step left, step right.

These are the spirits of long lost loves

    That flitter about like shadowy doves;

Yet are the lovers all unrequited

    Dancing in vain... never united.

My soul dances this dance tonight

    Love lost in the chill stark light;

Dance, my love, dance and ever tend
