Her Vow

She walks aside the River Rhine
As stars alight tonight.
Her eyes inspect the cloudless sky
To seek a comet's flight.

She will rename the shooting star
For whom she lost at night,
Continuing his noble name,
Where suns are born in light.

Cologne and Basel join the stars
To hear with keen delight,
For from her lips now flows a song
That only angels write.

Her song is filled with words of love
And moments they had shared.
Their joyous times of tenderness
In kisses were declared.

Her words of love move heavenward
As tears of pain cascade.
She speaks of him with graciousness
And vows his name won't fade.
