The Moon shines down
on this mournful eve
when the fairy
who dances alone
must wish upon a star, so far.

The fairy sways to the sweet music
of the waves as they kiss the sea.
The mermaids encircle her,
arms entwined, like a garland of roses,
as the full moon spotlights
her graceful moves.

A gift from the sea
to the star that shines down
Prevailing evermore this eventide
the joining of these two,
in the marriage of Heaven and Earth.
