A Night Piece
from a Pangasinan serenade entitled "Malinak la'y Labi"

your eyes excelled the morning sun
your smile laden my breast with flame
i’ll boast upon that lilting sun
your beauty worthy of a name
O what shall I give but a song
a song to sing my love for you
a song to time and space belong
until the world is born anew


the night is calm my love
and time is fleeting still
the wind is breathing low
kissed by the evening dew
how sweet it is to dream
that i have to wake for you
your fair attemper face
i shall always caress
O when the night is come
and you my love i see
the sadness all is gone
buried deeply in my soul
whenever i recall
loving ways you are wont to
i shall not forget you
until i am laid to rest

--

from Pangasinan Melodies

O when i behold the westering sun
& feel over me the fall of the night
when bamboo leaves i hear humming as one
sweet symphony ‘neath the gleaming moonlight

& summer’s breathing attemper & low
whispering uncouth sounds in my ears
perhaps untold secrets that i should know
or unheard love songs in the olden years
i think of thee  beloved  of our prime
still strong
     still in love
          & still young at heart
dancing the tango moments of our time
before the winds of death keep us apart

but bear in mind  my love  that i love thee
& this will always remind thee of me
