My Muse Returned To Stay

Her ashen face upon the pillow lay As then the light about her hair did play Her eyes so glinted with the coming day (Oh joy, sweet joy, my Muse returned to stay) A smile upon her lovely face she bore And thus within my soul her aspect tore O Muse, my Muse, then Phoenix-like did soar Now, as a wraith, she dances in my heart Once more her words of love now to impart No more her soul from mine will ever part Her magic yet again shall cast its spell As inspiration`s visions yet compel To fill the page with stories new to tell I pray that she will ever be my guide Set in my heart, my soul, and by my side As one we shall forever so abide Beneath the sun and stars we so entwine O Muse, my Muse, thus now forever mine Within my mind her beauty e`er to shine
