O Celestine, are you out roaming
Down some misty, secret ways,
Or in the lanes of western gloaming,
Through the occidental haze?
I saw your Celestine one morning,
Smiling and horizon-eyed,
Turn her back to the eastern dawning,
And her face towards the tide.
Oh how I miss that smile, entrancing
Keepsake of what used to be;
My Celestine, would you be dancing
If your footsteps led to me?
Fear not, your Celestine is coming,
As your aching heart still longs,
And as a dove of peace, she’s homing;
Once again you’ll hear her songs.

It makes for interesting reading. Thank you.
