I. IMPROMPTUS by Solomon S. Drogin

73. At 4:30 AM

His heart burst out in love
	To welcome the new year start
Happy is he in his new found bliss
	That to you, fair one, I give thanks
In this for your heart in me true
	Even as you my own heart possess

How can I sing on beloved
	With you at my side wrapt
In my tender, sweet song which
	To your ear soft music brings
And to your lips a pout fit
	For my lips to kiss away to joy?

And yet, on life goes, the morrow
	Surely will come, and we poor beings
Snatch at these few moments for
	Brief happiness to be ours, brief
Oh too short, and the gods laugh
	At our mortality, pains and joys

My song to an end must come
	Tired, waery, sleepy am I
So is she ravaged by my love
	Heartless am I to thus love her
But ah, be kind, for there is life
	Let me go on loving her thru eternity
