                          amabile cantabile

                                               a love song                  
                   
                     "Or leave a kiss within the cup                  
               And I'll not ask for wine."—Ben Jonson
                 
                   
'twas but the gentle whisper                  
      of the heart upon your lips,                  
            no alto flute e'er crisper,                  
                  earth more crowned by moon's eclipse.                  
            it was a sigh of velvet pearls,                  
      because your heart was lonely.                    
my pianistic fingers                  
      played the ebon-ripe refrain                  
            that for the moment lingers                  
                  but to fall and rise again.                  
                        it was a whisper answering                  
                              the french song that you only                  
                                    have copyright to drown in,                  
                                          when the stage is soft with light                  
                                                and all the hats are thrown in,                  
                                                      a surrender to the night.                  
                                                            amabile cantabile:                  
                                                                  your love is so amazing!                  
                                                            gratuitous, the spirit                  
                                                      cries a reign of deep emotion;                  
                                                your kiss in one fleet minute                  
                                          lights a flame of sweet devotion:                  
                                                it is a song, an aria,                  
                                                      whose lyrics are its blazing.
