Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, ans sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel,like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breast peep
Of doves in silvered feathered sleep
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eyes;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.
