The irish night that sings a love song,
the countryside that holds your name.
What roads could bring you closer a moment?
What fiddle play your voice so true?
A slant of light creeps in the chamber
right after darkness hid us both.
A path uphill, i walk behind you
the grass is dancing, the rocks awake
an ancient story we are now evoking
another life that calls us forth.
Drink from the wine, bite the apple
take my hand and draw the circle.
Let's walk around and invoke the Gods
remember, we have been here before.
Sweet dawn that stirs our bodies
making me wonders see through your eyes.
Have i not touched that face before?
Have i not witnessed it from slumber rise?
What is this thirst that crawls inside me?
What is this hunger?What is this need?
I ask you "Trap the stars inside my body"
I'll be your lantern,i'll be your torch.
Never in bogs will you be wandering
Never will you be lost.
I'll be your cloak, i'll be your chalice
if only you be the sword,if only you ride the sun.

Although I usually enjoy more rhyming poems, the imagery in this one has me captivated. I almost felt myself drawing the circle with them, drawing down the moon. It was almost like an echo from an old memory. The only problem that I'm having is the stanzas. I don't understand the line breaks very well. Could you explain it to me please?
