Let's drift to dream, enwrapt in love
'til all the nights are gone.
Like starlight children, lost above,
we'll turn our lanterns on.
Let's sprinkle moon-dust in our eyes,
tie love-knots in our hair,
Then fly to where the fountain lies
in the lake of no-more-care.
Let's bathe in love and pure delight,
then roll away the rain,
Make pillows from the velvet night,
then laugh and love again.
This earth was made for us, my love,
lovers like you and me,
Let's drift to paradise above,
across the tideless sea.
And there I'll kiss your eyes awake,
and there you shall be free
To gather all my love and take
the World for you and me.
