I Used To Be A Love Song I used to be a love song, A melody scattered on the sea By swarthy fishermen Chanting each vowel heartily. I used to be a love song, Beckoning in the night, A soft, flowing tenor Caressing each lover's delight. I used to be a love song Sung upon one knee As the gondolier waited For his lover patiently. I used to be a love song Accompanied by a lyre As the troubadours joined In chorus, their hearts all afire. I used to be a love song, Sung through every century; Now that sentiment's lost, I've become love's elegy. Dena L. Moore December 24, 2001 I Used To Be A Love Song appears in my chapbook, Canso and is currently available. Please click here for more information. |
