Last night ] wandered where the moon
was pouring
Her silvery splendor over roof and tree
top,
SO clear the night. the boughs seemed
like fair canoes
OF deepest green. upon ground Of azure,
The birds had ceased to sing the cricket
only.
With plaintive note, some time disturbed
the silence,
Which seemed to clasp and hold, with
soft embracing,
The earth and all things round so gently
sleeping.
One cleaning star hung low above the
hilltop.
Yet slowly followed in the fair moons
pathway;
Constant. serene. rs bright beam never
falling.
It seemed the fitting emblem OF some
true heart.
That, sleeping never, still will follow after
It's love. as does the star the fair Moon
Goddess.
