Hold (Love's True Glow)
Music and Lyrics by Coleman Peterson
Adapted from "To-Night" by Sara Teasdale

The moon is a curving flower of gold,
made for the sky to hold.
The sky still blue, like I for you.
Made to hold.

The moon is a flow'r without a stem,
a blooming, glooming rose.
The moon, an eternal twinkling gem,
and here, tonight, it grows!

So luminous, and all for us.
The sky and moon, for me and you.
Eternity, for you and me.
Love's true glow.
I'm made for you.
Oh, can you hold me too?

To-Night

The moon is a curving flower of gold,
The sky is still and blue;
The moon was made for the sky to hold,
And I for you.

The moon is a flower without a stem,
The sky is luminous;
Eternity was made for them,
To-night for us.

Sara Teasdale
