Nobody's Lookin' But De Owl And De Moon

I like to share one of poem that I love.. I found this poem with my friends when we studied about Literature..

Title: Nobody's Lookin' But De Owl And De Moon

Author: James Weldon Johnson



(A Negro Serenade)


De river is a-glistenin' in de moonlight,
De owl is set'n high up in de tree;
De little stars am twinklin' wid a sof' light,
De night seems only jes fu' you an' me.
Thoo de trees de breezes am a-sighin',
Breathin' out a sort o' lover's croon,
Der's nobody lookin' or a-spyin',
Nobody but de owl an' de moon.

Nobody's lookin' but de owl an' de moon,

An' de night is balmy; fu' de month is June;
Come den, Honey, won't you? Come to meet me soon,
Wile nobody's lookin' but de owl an' de moon.


I feel so kinder lonely all de daytime,

It seems I raly don't know what to do;
I jes keep sort a-longin' fu' de night-time,
'Cause den I know dat I can be wid you.
An' de thought jes sets my brain a-swayin',
An' my heart a-beatin' to a tune;
Come, de owl won't tell w'at we's a-sayin',
An' cose you know we kin trus' de moon.




You may long for someone you love, but you have to be wise and patience to wait her/him..
Even everyone doesn't know your feeling, there is God looking at you.. To give you hope and strength..
Keep your smile.. =)
