SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 101 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: THE MOONLIGHT IS A GARDEN
Last Line: AGAINST YOUR LOVER'S SIDE!
Subject(s): MOON;

The moonlight is a garden
Upon the mountainside,
Wherein your gleaming spirit
All lovely and grave-eyed,
Touched with the happy craving
That will not be denied,
Aforetime used to wander
Until it reached my side.
O wild white forest flower,
Rose-love and lily-pride,
And staunch of burning beauty
Against your lover's side!
