Oh moon, enthroned in the starry sky, How I love your colorful beams Shining down through the cobalt clouds, Illuminating the world with your splendor! I wonder, oh moon, Can you see with your eyes? Those starlit orbits opened My nomad soul to the silvery moonlight Whose enchanted beauty, wafted down through The night, still trembles on the fragile wings Of the cooling morning winds. Oh moon, tonight Look down into my troubled soul And soothe my lonely heart with your Dancing moonbeams, casting fantastic Shadows over the silent world. Now I feel your strength and Magic power of beauty; for after you, Oh moon, silently come other wonders of the night! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MARY'S LAMB by SARAH JOSEPHA BUELL HALE FAITHLESS NELLY GRAY; A PATHETIC BALLAD by THOMAS HOOD SONNETS OF MANHOOD: 43.
