Largo e  pianissimo sempre,

"like a baby's smile" )



My setting is  a pastoral family all together in a Summer evening.



" Soft breezes stir the leaves, and in the root it is felt.  My love, your name is a constant reminder of this beautiful day we have spent together.  The sweet, continuing under-current of Love is still flowing, and your lovely name is its sound.  In the cool of this evening, after a warm, wonderful day of expressing our family's love to one another, we all sit, resting and thanking God for Life together.  You and I are sitting apart from each other, knowing and relishing the sweet temptation of being close enough to touch, but not touching.  Our minds and our hearts are making impassioned love, and the pure theme of Love pervades the entire scene.  You are caressing the soft forehead of our son, soothing his slight fever.  Your tender and cool fingers brush his brow, while your sweet wordless lullaby comforts him and instills calm into his beautiful mind.   And into mine, also.   ( The intense devotion and channeled passion you and I possess in each other is so wonderfully translated into the life-style of love which our children are learning from every word we say and motion we make ! )  Your soft finger-tips knit an over-covering blanket of love on his small body and brow, as you collect his aches in your humming song, and you calm and relieve him as you embroider around him a beautiful mantle of protecting love which he will remember forever.  Our eyes have never parted their loving glance ever since he laid himself into you lap.  Everytjhing you've done for him you are doing to me.  I thank God I found you!  Soon it will be  MY turn to enjoy the gentle caresses of your hands - - but this time it will be an invigorating, stimulating, reviving, warming, exciting touch :  it is  MY  turn to be absorbed into your love !!
