By The Light Of The Silvery Moon


Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and 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 coat the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.



Silver : Walter de la Mare

Everything here is sparkling with moisture in the morning sunshine following the rains we've had this week.

Pretty poem!

Last night, although the moon isn't full yet, the critters outside all acted like it was - must have been 4 am before I finally passed out.
