Rare odors seemed with MS to stay.
Faint music reached ms from rili
We loved the night more than the day.
30 lone. 80 beautiful and STILL
Night is the time for love to spring
Beneath blue and star-lit sky:
When every zephyr seems to ring
With music a it wantons by
- Then hearts in union gladly beat.
And eyes with rzre>t brightness glow.
Forthere'- no other time 50 sweet
For love, a> that when roses blow.
