Juliet and Romeo

from NTI Spring '21 Company Project

Come to me blessed moon

Why must you leave so soon

The light will be gone

Her starry eyes, so bright

The birds would think it were not night

And sing til the dawn

My love will prove a false desire

The day water turns to wine, and tears to fire

She shines like the sun

While my world’s begun

The skies were gray, but now they’re blue

The stars shine bright, the world’s anew

How can I go back there while my heart’s stuck here with you

The measure done. Forswear it, sight

There was no beauty ‘til tonight

Listen to the poets sow

Songs of Juliet and Romeo

Lord knows I feel no shame

There’s no damn thing in your name

That means to me defeat

For very wise man knows

Pick another name for a rose

Smells just as sweet

But if my aching heart surmounts my head

Then I fear the grave will be our wedding bed

With rings of fire
