Analysis of Shimmering Alure
Hunter Aydelott 1960 (Tennessee)
Dancing eyes softly wait
Shining beauty radiating
Balancing in the moonbeams
Many a sailor's eyes have tried
To untie Stella's steadfast heart
Bound to oceans rocky shores
His eyes stirred her deepest feelings
Longing for his long tender kiss
Waves and tides ebb and flow
Holding her captain's promise close
In a golden heart on a silver rope chain
Daily wishes dream of his return
Upon twilight nights Milky Way
One star shines a hopeful winds wish
Guiding him home in a brisk steady sail
To finally embrace kisses remiss
Drawn to her simmering alure
Soon reunited together once more
