Moonlight

The greatest beauty, the sweetest scent,

The luminescence of moonlight

In its pulchritude, he came and went

Gliding through the night


The stranger drifts past the light,

He meanders slowly afar,

Skulking in the lusciousness of the white

night, he will not go far.


As he perambulates to the statue

He sees the brightest lustre

His face turns to one of rue

And is dazzled, rather


By the alabastrine of the moon

By the veiled sheen of its scintillant allure

Its shadowy liquidity, It's opportune

To draw, to lure.
