'STARLIGHT FANTASY Far above, in the deep, velvety blue The saoohire moon gleams in vivid hue And twinkllng brightly in the sky The shlning stars are seen on high The phantom shadows weirdly dance Among the trees they whirl and orance Stirred by the wind, the rustling leaves Whisper love words through the trees The rippling waves are quided on Now they're here, now they're gone Two lovers are walking hand in hand Alone in this enchanted land And all this while, the stars above Keep the secret of their love, That only they alone can be In the land of starlight fantasy Barbara Sawyer '53 ME MITHER'S CANDLE 'Tis a mere bit of wax, ye say?
