Barcarolle

In the moon's soft gleam,

The swaying gondola gliding down the Seine River

With reflection of la lune on the soft waves

Lighting up the quiet city.

 

The waves caress against the ancient stones

Whispering the tales of romance

With her warm resonant voice 

Her voice echoes as she gently dance

Through the dim-lit city

 

Let us drift away

Away in the barcarolle's soft melody

Surrounded by the mellow night's hue


The author's comments:

This poem was inspired by Tchaikovsky June Barcarolle and my memories of strolling along the Seine River when I went to Paris.
