Lines after Neruda

Play me a guitar
Mellow and tender
Strum me softly
Rippling waves on midnight sand

Sing me sweetly
Voice like summer wine
Under strong, gentle hands
I will blend your song

Cover me lightly
In orange blossomed breeze
No frenzied violin
Bleeding tears to the sea

So play me a guitar
Mellow and tender
Caress my evening stillness
And I will sing you moonlight

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

I LOVE the last line:

"and I will sing you moonlight"

I may have to steal it for an away message! ;)
