Young Love VIII - Orbits

Topics: classic

Two stars once on their lonely way Met in the heavenly height, And they dreamed a dream they might shine alway With undivided light; Melt into one with a breathless throe, And beam as one in the night. And each forgot in the dream so strange How desolately far Swept on each path, for who shall change The orbit of a star? Yea, all was a dream, and they still must go As lonely as they are.
