Compare thee to a Crescent Moon

Crescent of a quarter-moon on her cheek,

Hung around orbiting her tender eyes

Where the soft blue light comes down like a sheet

Settling my iris where shadow lies.

The curling silk ribbons of her black hair

Passed over by monarch a butterfly

Like a flow'r garden of the midnight air

Floating gently with the clouds in the sky.

And her frigid breath of frail wind whisper,

Just now falling upon my frozen lips

Under the night covered by smooth skin bare,

Coming across my face like an eclipse

From the faint glow of a tinted moon,

Whereby two pupils dilate loft leer lune.
