Poem by Mark Havliand, set to music with permission, by David Warin Solomons
Tonight when I got your letter
I went for a walk in the woods
Where a full moon baled by a flume of cloud
and glowing ghostly through the trees
and glistened on a glimmering stream
while the wind as it coasts through the branches
hissed like escaping steam.
And I sat on the bridge that crosses the stream
and settled down to dream a night dream
I dreamed of you somewhere in the sun
As I sat alone in the moon
And I thought of the night when I will set out
To bring you home to me
To a house that looks onto this scene
I thought of the night when I will set out
To bring you home to me
To a house that looks onto this scene
And there where the dark forest path leads down
To the dappled moonlit glade
Two trees stand silent like watchers all a-grey
And in my night-dream
I saw you there smiling a smile of the brae.
